Roses

Rose said quote, "It's time to make a mess
Time will be soon mine, in time I guess"
She's painting on my back a beautiful flowerpot
And she treats me, she treats me
She treats me like her local God

Rose said quote, "It's time to make a mess
This one's yours and yours is self obsessed"
She's painting on my back
A green tom, the beefheart one
And she cuddles, and she coos
And she cuts the bullshit I confessed

She said, "Don't look my way"
What can I possibly say
I've never seen you before
I'm just the one that makes you think of the one
That makes you feel you're the one"

To thank you for the roses
For the roses
So thank you for the roses
For the roses
Thank you for the roses
For the roses
Thank you for the roses
For the roses

Rose said quote, "It's time to make a mess
Remind me what it is that I do best"
She's painting on my back, some beautiful, something sweet
And she treats me, she treats me, she beats me

Rose said quote, "My time has come at last
Ugly things through my mind, they have passed"
She's scratching on my back, "If this boy believes me"
She leaves me, deceives me and takes those flowers
Just to please me

Rose don't mind where she's been
She's been blind
She's been mine
All this time
She's been kind
She's been mine

She said, "Thank you for the roses, for the roses" (just to...)
Thank you for the roses
For the roses (just to...)
Thank you for the roses
For the roses (just to...)
Thank you for the roses
For the roses (just to...)

Thank you for the roses
For the roses (just to...)
Thank you for the roses
For the roses (just to...)
Thank you
