Fatima Mansions - You're A Rose Lyrics
This is mister blank calling, gorgeousFrom the slum which time ignoresWhere folks use razor blades for toothpasteAnd every breath is a holy warWere you sleeping? do you hate me?Ive been dozing in the midnight sunAnd Ive solved all of my problemsMaking the many into oneThe good times are all overI dont care, it seems I missed themBut I miss your smile, your laugh, your snore,Your fond contempt, your faithful rageYoure a roseYoure a rose in a crown of thornsYou dont mind the queues, the burning trainsThe squalid, mute despairYou dont mind deceiving loversYou ignore the stinking airWell, now accept youre just a personNot the touchstone, not the faceOf the ages past, their grandeurAnd the death-wish of the master raceThe dawn sky is getting bleakerOur demise could not be neaterAnd your face hangs down before me nowLike a rootless flame; in awe I stareYoure a roseOn fireYoure a rose in a crown of thornsWell, I think youd better hang up on the jerkIts been too long, too long, too longFrom now on theres only gonna be one wayOne way traffic nowThe door is open, the door is open wide cos I said so...
