A Night at the Roses

you should see yourself
 when will you grow up
 every knob you twist on that machine is like a crutch
 but i was just the fool
 you've been waiting for
 who says we can't touch
 ourselves to keep from getting bored?
 nothing else is touching that's for sure
 a ring around the roses
 i will watch you play
 i come here every night
 it's just me the bartender the waitress and the lights
 shining on you not getting it right
 we clap not for you but for your kind
 a ring around the roses
 everybody poses
 threats and then backs down
 the second you put clothes on
 a ring around the roses
 everybody knows it
 i will sing your fears
 if you sing my neurosis
 you should back out now
 not a night too soon
 i'll still be here when the last poor soul has left the room
 standing round just like a good friend should
 smiling as if your songs were good
 a ring around the roses
 everybody poses
 threats and then backs down
 the second you get clothes on
 a ring around the roses
 everybody knows it
 i will sing your fears
 if you sing my neurosis
 and i sat there for hours
 waiting on the curb
 thinking you might like a flower from a pretty girl
 a ring around the waitress from the verse
 a ring of fire around the roses' door
 put it on before you lose your nerve
 put your hands together and they'll hurt
 (repeats five times)
 make your sound that no one's ever heard
 (repeats twice)
 and i hope we get what we deserve
