Monarchy Of Roses
The crimson tide is
flowing through your fingers as you sleep
The promise of a
clean regime are promises we keep
Do you like it rough,
I ask, and are you on to task?
The calicos of
Pettibon where cultures come to clash
Several of my best
friends wear the colours of the crown
Mary wants to build
it up
And Sherri wants to
tear it all back down, girl
The saviour of your
light
The monarchy of roses
The monarchy of roses
tonight
The cross between my
former queen, her legendary stare
The holy tears of
Ireland, the lovely cross to bear
Several of my best
friends know the secrets of this town
And Mary wants to
raise it up
And Sherri wants to
spit it all around, girl
The sailors of the
night
The monarchy of roses
The monarchy of roses
tonight
Several of my best
friends wear the colours of the crown
Mary wants to build
it up
And Sherri wants to
tear it all back down, girl
The saviour of your
light
The monarchy of roses
The monarchy of roses
Hey yeah
We all want the rose
you know
I said hey yeah
Show us love before
you go
Say I will, and then
I'll say I want to
The story knows that
I will never taunt you
Hey yeah
We all want the rose
you know
I said hey yeah
Show us love before
you go
Say I will, and then
I'll say I want to
The story of love
that I will always want you
Hey
