[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
We're painted as monsters, borracho, cansado
And do you know what the people say?
I pluck from the garden of wretched beliefs
I offer a rose and smile with harmless teeth
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Then slick back my hair, you know the devil's in there
Alone in the garden
Like lumbering giants in a shameful parade
We came to ruin all and make a rotten trade
And make you roll over
So roll over
Get over
[Refrain]
Scattered all on the shore
Surely they're washed away
[Chorus 1]
Feeling somewhat deserving of what will be someday
No, I can never stay melancholy, I've the memory of your face
No, I can never stay melancholy for long
Before I move on
[Verse 2]
We're unwanted strangers, exploited and dangerous
Unable to hide or even dream of it
¿Cómo estás? Parting the seas
We're lepers who stroll, why you afraid sweety?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I slick back my hair, you know the devil's in there
So keep one eye open baby
We're so easy to spot, lepers riding atop
Pachyderms made of germs
Elephants broken and screaming and all
Roll over
Are we comin' over?
[Refrain]
Scattered all on the shore
Surely they're washed away
Scattered all on the shore
Surely they're washed away
Away, away
[Chorus 2]
Feeling somewhat deserving of what will be someday
No, I can never stay melancholy, I've the memory of your face
I'm alone in the garden of long lost hopeful plans
No, I can never stay anything for long
[Bridge]
So come on, move
Roll over
Are we comin' over?
(Here we go)
