Roll Away Car

At the lost church in the city on wheels
at the alter where I cross then kneel
the radio like a church bell peals
and jesus swings from the rear view mirror

I pray goodnight to the midnight star
I say hello to who I really are
I put the princess pea back in the jar
the lady sleeps tonight in a roll away car

roll away car, roll away car
the princess sleeps tonight in a roll away car

Oh and while I make my list
lord would you carve me a lover from a butter stick
all the sins for which I've wished
would melt away with one sweet kiss

and would you say hello to the prince in green
and tell him I'm sorry I missed the scene
but I've tucked my hands under my dreams
the princess sleeps tonight in no limousine

just a roll away car, roll away car
the princess sleeps tonight in a roll away car

Ride back
