Lenny Castro - Monarchy of Roses lyrics

[Verse] The crimson tide is flowing through your fingers as you sleep The promise of a clean regime are promises we keep Do you like it rough I ask and are you up to task? The calicos of Pettibon where cultures come to clash [Chorus 1] Several of my best friends wear The colors of the crown And Mary wants to build it up And Sherry wants to tear it all back down, girl The savior of your light The monarchy of roses The monarchy of roses tonight [Bridge] The cross between my former queen, her legendary stare The holy tears of Ireland, a lovely cross to bear [Chorus] Several of my best friends know The secrets of this town Mary wants to raise it up And Sherri wants to spin it all around, girl The sailors of the night The monarchy of roses The monarchy of roses tonight [Chorus 1] Several of my best friends wear The colours of the crown And Mary wants to fill it up And Sherry wants to tear it all back down, girl The saviour of your light The monarchy of roses The monarchy of roses [Chorus 2] Hey yeah We all want the rose you know I said Hey yeah Show us love before you go Say I will, then I say I want to The story knows that I will never taunt you Hey yeah We all want the rose you know I said Hey yeah Show us love before you go Say I will, then I say I want to The story knows that I will always haunt you
