Plastered in your newspaper palace Dishes and the backdoor slams The dogs on the floor They don't roam anymore And the rivers gone deaf at the dam
The dust falls like rain on your doorsteps Chokes you when you lift your rake A wine so sweet is the taste of your mouth But your love ain't the kind you can keep
Oh roses and cigarettes Pillow case that remembers you The scent of you still lingers on my fingertips Till I think I might go insane When will I see you again
Seen how you look at the stranger I see how you waite when he's gone If I told you I thought that there was a sin in your heart Could you honestly tell me I'm wrong
Oh roses and cigarettes Pillowcase that remembers you The scent of you still lingers on my fingertips Till I think I might go insane When will I see you again
He tells you that he needs you, he's a liar He tells you he's a hero, he's a fool He tells you he'll stay till the lords breaking day Then babe he ain't nothing but cruel
Oh roses and cigarettes Pillowcase that remembers you The scent of you still lingers on my fingertips Till I think I might go insane When will I see you again
