Monarchy Of Roses

The crimson tide is flowing through your fingers as you sleep

The promise of a clean regime are promises we keep.

Do you like it rough I ask and are you on to task?

The calicoes of pettibon where cultures come to clash

[Chorus:]

Several of my best friends wear, the colours of the crown

And mary wants to fill it up, and sherry wants to tear it all back down, girl

The saviour of your light

The monarchy of roses

The monarchy of roses tonight

The cloth between my former queen, her legendary stare

The holy tears that I am in, the lovely cross to bear

[Chorus:]

Several of my best friends know, the secrets of this town

And mary wants to raise it up, and sherry wants to spit it all around, girl

The sailors of the night

The monarchy of roses

The monarchy of roses tonight

[Chorus:]

Several of my best friends wear, the colours of the crown

And mary wants to fill it up, and sherry wants to tear it all back down, girl

The saviour of your light

The monarchy of roses

The monarchy of roses

Hey yeah

We all want the rose you know

I said

Hey yeah

Show us love before you go

Say I will, and then I'll say I want to

The story of love that I will never taunt you

Hey yeah

We all want the rose you know

I said

Hey yeah

Show us love before you go

Say I will, and then I'll say I want to

The story of love that I will always want you

Hey
