Oh the City is turning lights off
and the pets have run scared
from all the noise that s Coming from
the Rose's Lair.
All the stars have twinkled once
but before the second they will think again.
With the gardeners disappearing,
and the telephones all ringing
and the Churches not believing
in all their prayer
And if they sing of what this is about
they ll surely have to hide under the masks
Ooohhh
Rose rose a rose
and I stole it
to throw it at her feet
Oh Rose rose a rose
that was black like her eyes,
she couldn't see
(G C)(x4)
All the outdoors in the highway,
have been painted with a smiley
and some words they say
the old folks understand
It's not sorcery, it's just warning,
that your lose of sleep will not be repaired
Oh every thorn that fell
she knew was on her smile
Every thought of peace
Was coldder for a while
I knew I couldn't beg
Her eyes were turning black !
Oh Rose rose a rose
and I stole it
to throw it at her feet
Oh Rose rose a rose
that was black like her eyes,
she couldn't see
And she screamed,
and she ripped,
and still she couldn't see.
and I stole to be mine, and mine, and mine!
(G C)(x3)
(And the whispers that surround me,
say she's crying, and she's calling out my name
