Roses And Cigarettes Lyrics

Roses And Cigarettes lyrics

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 aint 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
