Roscoe (Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve Remix) - Midlake
Stone-cutters made them from stones
Chosen specially for you and I
Who will live inside
The mountaineers gathered
Timber piled high
In which to take along
Traveling many miles knowing
They'd get here
When they got here all exhausted
On the roof leaks they got started
And now when the rain comes
We can be thankful
When the mountaineers saw
That everything fit
They were glad and so they took off
Thought we were due for a change
Or two around this place
When they got back
They're all mixed up
With no one to stay with
The village used to be all
One really needs
Now it's filled with hundreds
And hundreds of chemicals
That mostly surround you
You wish to flee
But it's not like you
So listen to me listen to me
Oh and when the morning comes
We will step outside
We will not find another man in sight
We like the newness
The newness of all
That has grown in our garden
Struggling for so long
Whenever I was a child
I wonder what if my name
Had changed
Into something more productive
Like Roscoe been born in 1891
Waiting with my aunt Roselin
Thought we were due for a change
Or two around this place
When they got back
They're all mixed up
With no one to stay with
1891they roamed around
And foraged
They made their house from cedars
They made their house from stone
Well they're a little like you
And they're a little like me
We have all we need
Thought we were due for a change
Or two around this place
This place this place
When they got back
They're all mixed up
With no one to stay with
When they got back
They're all mixed up
With no one to stay with
