Rosebud is a dying word A world so ugly I built my own Like most things I never finished It flickers and it glistens Black light gives a sense of peace No trespassing over a man's life So pick the petals apart now Put them together, don't ask me how Maybe I lost a rosebud along the way Lost a rosebud sometime today Even after all, I told you my name I think I lost a rosebud sometime today I think I lost a rosebud The days that we have seen Are the way we should have been Contempt is a glimpse of the past A lifelong obsession with chance Black light gives a sense of peace No trespassing over a man's life So pick the petals apart now Put them together, don't ask me how Maybe I lost a rosebud along the way Lost a rosebud sometime today Even after all, I told you my name I think I lost a rosebud sometime today I think I lost a rosebud Black light gives a sense of peace No trespassing over a man's life So pick the petals apart now Put them together, don't ask me how Maybe I lost a rosebud along the way Lost a rosebud sometime today Even after all, I told you my name I think I lost a rosebud sometime today I think I lost a rosebud
