My love is like a red red rose,
Snake on her shoulder and ring in her nose
Sleeping it off in her swaddling clothes,
innocent as she lies.
I dont know where she comes from,
Hanging with dealers and slick back scum.
Dreaming of a Summer that never comes,
waiting for me to die
She is the daughter of the joshua tree,
long time losers and og wanna be's
Mammas in the corn and the fields are fallow,
Soul needs saving but im to dam shallow.

Sweet lorreta is pretty little nine,
kicks like a mule but she bites just fine.
I aint cleaned her in a mighty long time,
taking her out tonight.
Drip her in a bucket of kerosene,
Mr Rogers on my tv screen.
Friendlist sucker i've ever seen,
We are precious in his sight
We are the children in the joshua tree,
Long time losers and og wanna be's
Mammas in the corn and the fields are baron.
Roof needs fixing but im way passed caring.
Instro Break
Othelia drowned in the cold cold flood,
A thorn by any other name draws blood.
Deep red drops on a scarlet bud
Daddy we're coming home.
We dont know where home lays now
But we'll turn up some dam how
Drawn to the barn and the busted plough
And the graves are over grown
We are the children of the joshua tree,
long time losers and og wanna be's
Mammas in the corn and the fields been trampled,
You can't reason with a soul in shambles.
