Move Over - Wynton Marsalis

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
