Blood White Roses

Oooh, I got an apartment on the 109
oooh, a trigger finger and some peace of mind
ohh no no, I won't be going down for a second time
time time to go go, this love is working out just fine
yeah, right
yeah, right
roses bled so white
fading with the night

Oooh, I got a little bit of everything
oooh, I'm gonna cash in these used-up dreams
ohh yeah yeah, I'm hurting like I'm supposed to be
you see, see me, I will go down, going down swinging
yeah, right
yeah, right
roses bled so white
pain feels so outta site

Ooh yeah,
a thumbnail sketch of a girl
taking the light rail train
she's bound to show the whole world
what is to be loved by this rain
and this rain
drizzles ever inside me
never again will she hide her love inside of me
security is lax,
the jointly filed income tax,
now alone

Oooh, I got in my car, a cherry red 409
oooh, I'm gonna blaze away toward the state line
ohh, naw naw, looks like I'm going down for a third time
time time to blow this town, now my life's gonna work out fine
yeah, right
yeah, right
roses bled so white
you never did fit me right

Oh no no
roses bled so white
watch me fading with the night
with the night...
with the night...
the light...it's beautiful.

Great song!
Love that title.
