"A Night At The Roses" lyrics

You should see yourself
When will you grow up
Every knob you twist on that machine is like a crutch

But I was just the fool
You've been waiting for
Who says we can't touch
Ourselves to keep from getting bored?
Nothing else is touching that's for sure

A ring around the roses

I will watch you play
I come here every night
It's just me the bartender the waitress and the lights
Shining on you not getting it right
We clap not for you but for your kind

A ring around the roses
Everybody poses
Threats and then backs down
The second you put clothes on

A ring around the roses
Everybody knows it
I will sing your fears
If you sing my neurosis

You should back out now
Not a night too soon
I'll still be here when the last poor soul has left the room
Standing round just like a good friend should
Smiling as if your songs were good

A ring around the roses
Everybody poses
Threats and then backs down
The second you get clothes on

A ring around the roses
Everybody knows it
I will sing your fears
If you sing my neurosis

And I sat there for hours
Waiting on the curb
Thinking you might like a flower from a pretty girl
A ring around the waitress from the verse
A ring of fire around the roses' door
Put it on before you lose your nerve
Put your hands together and they'll hurt [x5]
Make your sound that no one's ever heard [x2]
And I hope we get what we deserve
