Got a house full of roses
But it's time to come down
Always trying to be at my place
But I'm never around
You wanna read Freud til midnight
But I just wanna mess around
You see that venom in your palm honey
I might just suck it out
There's a cold war coming
But we're taking it slow
Read about Detente
But you never really know
He put her head on a platter
Just to let you know
What you get from your father is a
Bottomless, vapid soul
And all those burning fields that we ran through
Just following orders like we're meant to
Doesn't it make you wonder what we're coming to
Doesn't it make you wonder what we're gonna do
You said you were just waiting for midnight
To see the wreckage in the moonlight
There was a fire in your mind you had to put right
There flowers in your hair until the end of sunrise
We could wait out all the fighting if we had to
The sky is full of ashes but I love you
Why does this feel so real if it's never true
Why does this feel so real if it's never true
We've got a house built of roses
But it's gotta come down
You were born like a desert
All sand and sound
Now I've glimpsed the gorgon eyes
I can't afford to turn around
Now I've glimpsed the gorgon eyes
I can't afford to turn around
