Sloppy Seconds - Black Roses Lyrics
So you were lateBut you never told me you wereYou didn't want to sayTill you were sureBut that song and danceWon't work no moreBecause you got no rhythmTo save your soulI don't care how much it hurtsSo you can tell itTo the Roman Catholic ChurchI don't run awayFrom my mistakesBut this is one, honey,That I didn't makeAnd I can't catch youAnd I can't get youBut I can't let you catch meOh no, you can't catch meAnd you never willSo you can plant black rosesIn your window sillI'll be freeAnd you'll be suicidalWhile you press black rosesIn your family BibleSo now it's allLeft up to your discretionAnd you can spill your gutsIn your next confessionLift your eyes up to the skyGive 'em ten Hail MarysFor one white lieYour mother always saidI would bring you downIf she could only see you nowClinging tight to your rosarySaying, "This wasn't howIt was supposed to be . . ."Forget about a snow-whiteWedding gownAnd you can toss black rosesIn a hole in the groundRoses are red, roses are blackTell your mother what you didAnd give her a heart attackSomeday when I'm cold and deadYou're gonna find black rosesBy your hospital bed
