This week’s song: Holy Roller by The Format

LYRICS

I’d fake my death if it weren’t such a mess
For the people I love or assume won’t forget me
But I’m staying alive just to see you roll your eyes and sigh

If you got nothing to prove
Then tell me, why would you do this?

Holy roller, don’t go wasting all your time
Praying for a sign
I’m burning out faster than a candle in the night
I’ll be gone before sunrise

Tell me again how you lost all your friends
Tell me, when did it start and when will it end?
‘Cause I see no wrong if you were to tag along, —ong

But don’t bother fixing your hair, holy roller
If you got nothing to wеar, —ear, —ear

Holy roller, don’t go wasting all your timе
Praying for a sign
I’m burning out faster than a candle in the night
I’ll be gone before sunrise

Sing na-na-na-na, sing na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Holy roller, don’t go wasting all your time
Praying for a sign

There is a debt that I never thought applied to me
Until I got to your bed and now I’m atop all of the sheets
Crawling on my knees, choking on the air that you breathe
—eathe, oh, oh

Come on, holy roller, let me out the corner
Make me think that I’m in control
I thought you was a kitten till you started hissing
Scratching at me like I’m a post
If I let your daughter push me underwater
Can I fall asleep with the ghost?
If I let your daughter turn me to a martyr
Is Jesus gonna save my soul? (—oul, —oul, —oul)

Holy roller, don’t go wasting all your time
Praying for a sign
I’m burning out faster than a candle in the night
I’ll be gone before sunrise

Sing na-na-na-na, sing na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Oh, holy roller, don’t go wasting all your time
Praying for a sign

Holy roller, don’t go wasting all your time
Praying for a sign
Sing na-na-na-na, sing na-na-na-na-na-na-na
