Almost Rosey - Live In Chicago 11/6/07

Just a minute of your time
 Yes, I've been known to delude myself
 So let me put those rose
 Coloured glasses to the test
 Now is this real enough for you
 'Cause blondes here don't jump out of cakes
 If that never impressed you much
 Come board this lunatic express
 Just why do they say
 "Have a nice day" anyway?
 We both know they wouldn't mind
 If I just curled up and died
 Oh let's not give that one a try
 Chin up, put on a pair of these roseys, raise those blinds
 Chin up, a happy mask was never your best disguise
 Chin up, put on a pair of these roseys, in no time
 You will feel almost fine, almost rosey
 Now some girls here will huddle with
 No not footballers that are rich
 But will confide in small white sticks
 He bats as the Virginian Slim
 Then I tried once to comply
 With an authority that would
 Subsidise my wild side
 But at this altar was sacrificed
 Yes, you can laugh a femme fatale
 In a bride's dress now married to
 The effortlessness of the cracks
 That lie now in between the facts
 Just why do they say
 "Have a nice day" anyway?
 We both know they wouldn't mind
 If I just curled up and died
 Oh let's not give that one a try
 Chin up, put on a pair of these roseys, raise those blinds
 Chin up, a happy mask was never your best disguise
 Chin up, put on a pair of these roseys, in no time
 You will feel almost fine, almost rosey
 Now about when Violet died
 The cause still unidentified
 She thought her love would be enough
 But you can't seduce seduction
 Her tentacles of endless want
 Reach through my corridors
 And tempt me to taste of her power
 I sober with the witching hour
 And when I hear of one more bomb
 Yes, we have all been robbed of song
 And nightingales who throw their arms
 Up when is enough enough?
 Just why do they say
 "Have a nice day" anyway?
 We both know they wouldn't mind
 If I just curled up and died
 Oh let's not give that one a try
 Chin up, put on a pair of these roseys, raise those blinds
 Chin up, a happy mask was never your best disguise
 Chin up, put on a pair of these roseys, in no time
 You will feel almost fine, almost rosey
 Feeling almost rosey
 Feeling almost rosey
