Lyrics
Edit
- you should see yourself
- when will you grow up
- every knob you twist on that machine is like a crutch
- but i was just the fool
- you've been waiting for
- who says we can't touch
- ourselves to keep from getting bored?
- nothing else is touching that's for sure
- a ring around the roses
- i will watch you play
- i come here every night
- it's just me the bartender the waitress and the lights
- shining on you not getting it right
- we clap not for you but for your kind
- a ring around the roses
- everybody poses
- threats and then backs down
- the second you put clothes on
- a ring around the roses
- everybody knows it
- i will sing your fears
- if you sing my neurosis
- you should back out now
- not a night too soon
- i'll still be here when the last poor soul has left the room
- standing round just like a good friend should
- smiling as if your songs were good
- a ring around the roses
- everybody poses
- threats and then backs down
- the second you get clothes on
- a ring around the roses
- everybody knows it
- i will sing your fears
- if you sing my neurosis
- and i sat there for hours
- waiting on the curb
- thinking you might like a flower from a pretty girl
- a ring around the waitress from the verse
- a ring of fire around the roses' door
- put it on before you lose your nerve
- put your hands together and they'll hurt
- (repeats five times)
- make your sound that no one's ever heard
- (repeats twice)
- and i hope we get what we deserve
