Farewell, farewell to the silver bell
To the lionhearted prize
Beware, beware, hide your shadowy hair
I'm the fool who steals your time
I'm the fool who steals your time
Yeah, I'm the fool who steals your time
Come in, come in, there's vermouth in the end
Where gardenias only grow
Go south, go south, yellow roses now
I'm the clown who feeds the crow
I'm the clown who feeds the crow
Yeah, I'm the clown who feeds the crow
Oh, yellow roses, right under our noses
It’d only just begun
Oh, aligned in a chalice in your medicine cabinet
Shuttered like a nun
Yellow roses, yellow roses
Yellow roses for someone
Appear, appear in the eyes of a seer
As a ravenous chanteuse
Alive, alive, hold me just like a child
I’m the kid weaving the noose
I’m the kid weaving the noose
Yeah, I’m the kid weaving the noose
Oh, yellow roses, right under our noses
It’d only just begun
Oh, aligned in a chalice in your medicine cabinet
Shuttered like a nun
Yellow roses, yellow roses
Yellow roses for someone
Yellow roses, yellow roses
Yellow roses, yellow roses
Yellow roses, yellow roses
Yellow roses for someone
