Roses Lyrics by The Shivers

Charades

2004

I used to laugh like a bastard
Now those days are long gone
I used to piss myself with my silly songs
I used to take long walks on beaches
And dream into the ocean
Now all my dreams seem out of reach
And I just haven't got the notion

Honey girl when you look at me
With your big brown eyes
My heart sinks to my belly
And I forget all those things I despise

Oh, on my street
All the albino children
You know I'd like being naked
If I wasn't so thin

Oh, in dreams
Colored roses
Heart-filled poses
Of guise

Oh it seems
I was Moses
You were Jesus
Christ

Zippity new day
Freckles of God
On your arm

Little, oh, blue jay
Whistle me something I'd like to hear

I'm opening up my door
I'm letting down my guard
Honey, I'll let you know me
But it's gunna be hard
But ain't that what we're here for
It's likable, it's known
It's magical to think about
And to realize I've grown

Oh, in dreams
Colored roses
Heart-filled poses
Of guise

Oh it seems
I was Moses
You were Jesus
Christ
