Rosebud

ROSEBUD
 Oh pretty baby
 You look helpless
 There is beauty in pain
 Help is coming
 So don't you worry
 Don't even try to explain
 The sirens blaring
 The look of panic
 These are the signs of a dream
 Cry pretty baby
 You'll feel better
 I'm trying hard not to scream
 CHORUS
 What will your mother say
 What will your father say
 What will the angels say
 As they hide in disgrace
 From your beautiful face
 Hush my darling
 There's tomorrow
 We'll be laughing again
 I'll buy a camera
 We'll take vacations
 Try not to move if you can
 Without a warning
 Without a reason
 There wasn't even a scream
 Don't call it tragic
 That gives it meaning
 I'm trying hard not to scream
 CHORUS x 2
 ROSEBUD
 A tiny diamond
 Lies out on Main Street
 That's all that's left of our love
 Without your loving
 My life is nothing
 How can I ever go on
 CHORUS x 2
 In a movie, a life can be summed up in a word
 It's a useful, dramatic device
 In the real world, with real flesh and real blood
 One word is never, ever enough
