I Bought A Rose From The Guy At The Traffic Lights by Songdog
I Bought A Rose From The Guy At The Traffic Lights lyrics
I bought a rose from the guy at the traffic-lights, but
only for the thorn. I pressed it as hard as
I could into my palm as I rode across town to your place.
A church bell rings like it�s just going
through the motions, kind of like me and my life. It�s
like I�ve always lived in mourning,
Though for what I couldn�t say�.
When you spoke your words tumbled through the air like
tossed dice and lay there on the felt,
You said �The world is just the world, let�s go buy
pancakes from the princess
with the mole on her cheek�.
So I sulk over a lukewarm lunch served up by some
Valkyrie,
And you all bracelets and suntanned arms and the street
outside dissolving in sunlight�.
When I used to wonder about how our lives would pan out
it was always the two of us together,
But I�ve known a long, long time you�re seeing this
married guy, and the thing is
it somehow just don�t matter. And when we fuck it�s like
we�re just hustling to come,
We should�ve broke up maybe years ago. And tonight you
had a nosebleed on your white cr�pe top
I said I�d miss you but you didn�t answer �..
