Oh Erewhon Erewhon
Hear that tiny violin?
For love of God it's a quarter to ten
I can see thru the glass from the outside looking in
Am I the only stiff working a job

My favorite bar on electric avenue
On a good night would host just me and you
The jukebox would gently hum past 2
When we weren't on a social clock

Now it's got some name with an ampersand
The code word for the door you have to scrawl on your hand
The locals they don't really wanna understand
All the new kids on the block

Roll away, roll away (like a stone)
Even if it bothers you, leave it alone 
Wherever you are yeah that's your home 
Roll away, roll away like a stone

Our Venice hero moves away
Hello to the red dirt 
Goodbye LA Freeway
He can see through the clear air from the outside looking in
Some clicheno place like home

But the stares I get are the worst I've seen
Like I showed up on Easter dressed for Halloween 
While they're mad at the bathrooms that went neutral last week 
Yellin' go back to California you atheist freak

Now they're mad at folks like me movin' in
Avocado toast still fresh on our hands
The locals they don't really wanna understand
All the new kids on the block

Roll away, roll away (like a stone)
Even if it bothers you, leave it alone 
Wherever you are yeah that's your home 
Roll away, roll away like a stone

Roll away, roll away (like a stone)
Even if it bothers you, leave it alone 
Wherever you are yeah that's your home 
Roll away, roll away 

Roll away, roll away (like a stone)
Even if it bothers you, leave it alone 
Wherever you are yeah that's your home 
Roll away, roll away like a stone
Roll away, roll away like a stone
Roll away, roll away like a stone
