Sugar sweet, bloody Sunday I'm gonna give it up to you
and all my traffic signs point one way and I know just what to do
now as I digress, you know I must confess that girl you'll find me much too dangerous to take in excess...
but you don't heed my words of wisdom and just let yourself go and while your heads up in the clouds I'm down here standing alone
I bide my time and I wait in the hopes you relate and pull yourself up out these fairytales you always create
cuz life it never goes the way of things you always have planned but still you and ask me for another with a drink in your hand
this is a knockdown, drag-out times up, I'm out...love that we've got here its just a bunch of smoke and mirrors everything's becoming clearer as the rest just disappears
so baby don't even try to feed me all of those lines you know my appetite is gone, its maybe time to change my scenery, to where the grass is greener, see, now girl I should be moving on
and now its safe to say girl, we cant wait another day to see if everything will be okay so we'll take the long way down
the sound of rain that comes fallin on a hot tin roof is sweeter than that fake "I love you" cuz you give me no proof...
you run around and feed the hand of every man that you find and while you move them to the front you'll catch me falling behind
sometimes you may win, and sometimes you may fold sometimes you find the value in the things that you've sold
but now its too late to change and take back what you said and all you're left with are the dreams that take up space in your head
I'll never track-down, fall out, pick up, call out...everything you need so chalk it up to desperation and you need no explanantion why we can't get up to speed
so baby try your best to tell yourself that everything is fine and when you call out my name you'll find that nothings the same because I won't be there to fall in line
its time you see it too girl, no theres nothing left for you to do oh, to help us somehow make it thru we'll take the long way down
(JAM)
now it all comes into view you can see theres nothing left for us to do theres no way that we could ever push on thru we'll take the long way down girl, no, the long way down and we'll take the long... we'll take the long way down
you say, you've had enough of this kind of life you live and you think love is the stuff of a sort of urban myth and you scream top of your lungs, but nobody dares to listen you swear, you've given up and, won't go around again
lately, there's no confusing the mix of words that come from your mouth still I'm refusing to put up my white flag up and lay down my ammunition I'm gonna make my play to change your lonely position I'm gonna get you girl
you are everything and more to me girl you are everything and more to me girl you are everything and more to me girl
cautious, is how I'm stepping when I make my way into your foremost direction and I take into account that you move so quiet and there aint no way that I could ever deny it yea, you've got me girl...
you are everything and more to me girl you are everything and more to me girl you are everything and more to me girl
someday you'll find a reason for every chance that you take yo go blind to the seasons and all the colors they make you stand tall but your lean when a bitter wind comes blowing I pray, you'll see the meaning cuz you got me girl...
you are everything and more to me girl you are everything I hope to see girl you are everything and more to me girl
come and sit my dear and rest your weary head and drift away into this land the hare he fled once you fall you'll find it all awaiting you so come on in and lets begin we hope you like the view
soon she came upon a rather crazy pair and withought fail they told the tail of great despair 20,000 leagues beneath the sea they say because of greed they both would lead the little ones astray
now the time has come to talk of simple things of shoes and ships and acid trips cabbages and kings the moral of my story goes, you get what you deserve so take a bite of sweet delight before you know, things are as they were
as the smoke it lifted clouds they shifted into view and he would sit and take a hit or maybe two blowing crocodiles and miles of purple haze he spread his wings in hopes they'd bring him towards those better days
so tip your hat to those you meet along the way and never smoke tomorrow what you roll today counting colors in your magic mushroom high so please be strong, it won't be long before you know, life has passed you by
and sitting on a limb invisible to her there came the most peculiar grin that ever did occur wrapped up in hype and all those stripes in which he's clad "so do you find it queer?", he asked, "my dear, we're all a little mad!"
don't be scared of such affairs and strange new friends he'll dissapear until we near the stories end but not before he'll change decor to point the way' for what awaits a party's great, and a somewhat curious display
pull up a chair its in the air and all around they sing again of mice and men and twinkling bats abound and all the hapiness that comes with normal days so raise your glass to service brass my child you'll be amazed
so go ahead and make some of all you see and find the road to take you home that winds thru every tree the penciled foul and long-neck owl they listen to your cries so take the door that stands before come walk right in I think you'll be surprised
soon she found herself at mercy of the queen and she did dread to lose her head as was the courts routine first chance to take she made her break to get away and all the land would make a stand and beg of her to stay
so hurry on my dear the tyrant is closing in be polite and turn to fight come take one on the chin the royal guards and decks of cards well they will all fall down and all you have left is such a mess to clean
though its hard my girl its time to say goodbye soon you'll wake beneath this crystal clear suburban sky where everything is as it was and all is what it seems and you will find your perfect world awaits you in your dreams
who's been painting my roses red who's been painting my roses red you will surely lose your head if you've been painting my roses red
