Roses - The Shivers

I used to laugh like a bastard

Now those days are long gone

I used to piss myself with my silly songs

I used to take long walks on beaches

And dream into the ocean

Now all my dreams seem out of reach

And I just haven’t got the notion

Honey girl when you look at me

With your big brown eyes

My heart sinks to my belly

And I forget all those things I despise

Oh, on my street

All the albino children

You know I’d like being naked

If I wasn’t so thin

Oh, in dreams

Colored roses

Heart-filled poses

Of guise

Oh it seems

I was Moses

You were Jesus

Christ

Zippity new day

Freckles of God

On your arm

Little, oh, blue jay

Whistle me something I’d like to hear

I’m opening up my door

I’m letting down my guard

Honey, I’ll let you know me

But it’s gunna be hard

But ain’t that what we’re here for

It’s likable, it’s known

It’s magical to think about

And to realize I’ve grown

Oh, in dreams

Colored roses

Heart-filled poses

Of guise

Oh it seems

I was Moses

You were Jesus

Christ
