Roscoe (Beyond the Wizard's Sleeve remix) - Midlake

Stonecutters made them from stones

Chosen specially for you and I

Who will live inside

The mountaineers gathered tinder

Piled high

In which to take along

Driving 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

Ooh aah ooh

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 get back they're all mixed up with no one to stay with

The village used to be all one really needs

That's filled with hundreds and hundreds of chemicals

That mostly surround you

You wish to flee but it's not like you

To listen to me, listen to me

Oh, oh, 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 soaking for so long

Whenever I was a child I wondered what if my name had changed

Into something more productive like Roscoe

Been born in 1891

Waiting with my Aunt Rosaline

Thought we were due

For A change or two

Around this place

When they get back they're all mixed up with no one to stay with

1891

They roamed around and foraged

They made their house from cedars

They made their house from stones

Oh, 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 get back they're all mixed up with no one to stay with

When they get back they're all mixed up with no one to stay with
