Ben Folds Five - Rocky lyrics

We were in a park and I could jump so far Seems like all I'd ever done Was smoking pot out in the car and this fear faded in From the d**h of kids in my old school He says, "Ben, we both know you're asleep I've been running through these fields It's such a lovely place you dream, is it your imagination? It's been years since I've been on my feet" Now it's Rocky's day, send his soul on its way The sun won't be coming out today Now it's Rocky's day and this time he went away The sun won't be coming out today Now I recall but I don't know who told me Rocky was a runner, won a medal back in school Now at Christmas, momma says "You go up with me to Rocky's room" And as we watch the sun go down He thanked me for my dreams he says "I know you think you are but you're not completely free The man who's seen the scepter of departure is completely free" Now it's Rocky's day, send his soul on it's way The sun won't be coming out today now it's Rocky's day And this time he went away The sun won't be coming out today Then he smiled and he turned and walked away He said over his shoulder, "I'll be gone when you're awake" Now it's Rocky's day, send his soul on it's way The sun won't be coming out today Now it's Rocky's day and this time he went away The sun won't be coming out today
