Red Hot Chili Peppers - Monarchy Of Roses

The crimson tide is flowing thru
your fingers as you sleep
The promise of a clean regime
are promises we keep.
Do you like it rough I ask
and are you up to task?
The calicos of pettibon
where cultures come to clash

Several of my best friends wear, the colors of the crown
mary wants to build it up, and sherri wants to tear it all back down, girl
The savior of your light
The monarchy of roses
The monarchy of roses tonight

The cross between my former queen,
her legendary stare
The holy tears of island Ireland,
the lovely cross to bear

Several of my best friends know, the secrets of this town
mary wants to raise it up, and sherri wants to spin it all around, girl
The sailors of the night
The monarchy of roses
The monarchy of roses tonight

Several of my best friends wear, the colors of the crown
And mary wants to fill it up, and sherry wants to tear it all back down, girl
The savior of your light
The monarchy of roses
The monarchy of roses

Hey yeah
We all want the rose you know
I said
Hey yeah
Show us love before you go
Say I will, and then say I want to
The story knows that I will never taunt you

Hey yeah
We all want the rose you know
I said
Hey yeah
Show us love before you go
Say I will then say I want to
The story knows that I will always haunt you
Hey
