Roses Lyrics - Singles - Cherry Ghost

Blind me with distraction 

Build a frontier 'cross the void 

All tomorrow been destroyed, in a breath 

I moved out to the country 

And I saw the scenery shake 

As a summer parade meets its death 

And God's assassins rode back into town 

And paved their way upon the cold, cold ground 

Roses help me to pretend 

Blushing brides and cosmonauts 

Don't meet their bitter end 

Give me grace, oh Mother 

I have rumbled quite a feast 

Traced the footsteps of a priest in the snow 

But in my mind's picture 

Of every face I've ever loved 

Travel lightly, suck their blood before they go 

And God's assassins rode back into town 

And paved their way upon the cold, cold ground 

Roses help me to pretend 

Blushing brides and cosmonauts 

Don't meet their bitter end 

Roses, roses, cannot do this any more 

Cannot do this any more 

Cannot do this any more...
