Lyrics Move Over - Wynton Marsalis

Move Over

Move over
Move over now
Where are we?
Don’t you hear me?
Over
Anyone come close to me
Touch me
O I think I hear a drum
I think I hear a drum
Playing proudly, pounding, saying softly
Come
I think I hear a drum
I think I-
Pain and evil all around me, O-
Over, move, move closer over
Touch me closer
O brown, doom!
Hear this cry
Pass on through
Blood wet womb
Rocking tomb, tomb, tomb, tomb, tomb, tomb, tomb, tomb
Where are we?
Am I?
Are I?
Am we?
Am we?
I think I hear a drum, think I hear a drum
Think I hear a drum, think I hear the drums
That must be those drums singing on the wind
Take a me back my home
That’s a little one, with the ringing tone
Slowly swaying
Taking me back, far away back my home
No, that’s not the sound my drums
Not the sound my drums
Hk, chek!
That is not a drum
Pounding in, and pounding
Pound, pound, pound, pound
O, NO
That same beat
That same damned beat
Of iron drums
No memory
Take a me back my home
Stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it
Mommy, stop it
What are those things in my hair, and everywhere
Mother, stop it, stop it
Stop it, stop it, stop it
Mm where did the other ones go?
I’m down below
Demons are riding the wind
Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy mmmmm
Rocking tomb
Blood wet womb
Many cry
O brown doom
Beg to die and do
Where are we
Am I?
Are we?
Am we
Am we?
Move over move
Move closer over
Touch me closer
O, my head is spinning round and round
O, my eye just won’t see
Demons come to eat me
Take us back home
Far, far away
Think I hear a
They’re playing, proudly
Pounding softly, come
Pain and evil all around me
O-over come closer
Touch me, someone
Move over now
