lyrics
Dead Roses In Bloom
Rendezvous in central park
Searching for fire
Searching for a spark
Katmandu in mile high man
Got lost with a compass
Strapped to my hand
Dead roses in bloom
In late afternoon
Incredibly tacky
Smell of cheap perfume
On her subtle wrist
Was a tattooed amethyst
First I knelt and then I kissed
That rose between her hips
Rendezvous in central park
Found some fire
Found some sparks
Crawling thru the nether lands
Got lost in a moment
Of you in my hands
Dead roses in bloom
In late afternoon
Incredibly tacky
Smell of cheap perfume
On her subtle wrist
Was a tattooed amethyst
First I knelt and then I kissed
That rose between her hips
Love can make burn
And love can make you free
These voices are the same
Inside you and me
I stand and look at you
I like the view
I like the view
Up here
I like the view up here, up here
i like the view up here
We can't go back
