Roses And Cigarettes

Plastered in your newspaper palace
Dishes and the backdoor slams
The dogs on the floor
They dont roam anymore
And the rivers gone deaf at the damThe dust falls like rain on your doorsteps
Chokes you when you lift your rake
A wine so sweet is the taste of your mouth
But your love aint the kind you can keepOh roses and cigarettes
Pillow case that remembers you
the scent of you still lingers on my fingertips
Till I think I might go insane
When will I see you againSeen how you look at the stranger
I see how you wait when hes gone
If I told you I thought that there was a sin in your heart
Could you honestly tell me Im wrongOh roses and cigarettes
Pillowcase that remembers you
the scent of you still lingers on my fingertips
Till I think I might go insane
When will I see you againHe tells you that he needs you, hes a liar
He tells you hes a hero, hes a fool
He tells you hell stay till the lords breaking day
Then babe he aint nothing but cruelOh roses and cigarettes
Pillowcase that remembers you
the scent of you still lingers on my fingertips
Till I think I might go insane
When will I see you again
