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 up to task
The calicoes of Pettibon
where cultures come to clash
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
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
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...never
Taunt you
Hey.....
