Luscious Jackson Roses Fade Lyrics

Roses Fade Lyrics

With Precious scents of summer time
the lightning bugs said you were
mine--
When I asked you to be kind
I found i had to wait in line--
You
told me tales of love gone wrong
but you were paid to sing a long--
I knew
the only lover's song
I knew the only lover's song--

Chorus:
I
watched your roses fade away
the wings came off your back today--
And I
saw all the truth behind
the pretty pictures in my mind--

You angel
came a floating down
your halo it fell to the the ground--
The flies
swarming into town
and starting circling round and round--
There was a
body lyin' there
and whose it was I didn't care--
The prophet aly upon
the stair(?)
the funeral was common fare--
