A Night At The Roses

you should see yourself

when will you grow up

every knob you twist on that machine is like a crutch

but i was just the fool

you'd been waiting for

who says we can't touch

ourselves to keep from getting bored?

nothing else is touching thats for sure



a ring around the roses



i will watch you play

i come here every night

it's just me the bartender the waitress and the lights

shining on you not getting it right

we clap not for you but for your kind



a ring around the roses

everybody poses

threats and then backs down

the second you put clothes on

a ring around the roses

eveybody knows it

i will sing your fears if

you sing my neurosis



you should back out now

not a night too soon

i'll still be here when the last poor soul has left the room

standing round just like a good friend should

smiling as if your songs were good



a ring around the roses

everybody poses

threats and then backs down

the second you put clothes on

a ring around the roses

everybody knows it

i will sing your fears if

you sing my neurosis



and i sat there for hours

waiting on the curb

thinking you might like a flower from a pretty girl

a ring around the waitress from the verse

a ring of fire around the roses' door

put it on before you lose your nerve

put your hands together and they'll hurt(x5)

make a sound that no one's ever heard(x2)

and i hope we get what we deserve
