Luscious Jackson - ROSES FADE lyrics

With precious scents of summertime The lightening bugs said you were mind When I asked you to be kind I found I had to wait in line You told me tales of love gone wrong But who were they to sing along I know you only love her song I knew you only love her song I watched you roses fade away The wings came off your back today And I saw all the truth behind The pretty pictures in my mind Your Angels came a-floating down Your halo it fell to the ground The flies came swarming into town And started circling round and round There was a body lying there Whose it was I didn't care The coffin lay up on the stair The funeral it was common fare 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
