CHVRCHES - Roses

On the edge of a city in a slow dive Or so say you, so say you Crosshairs in the center of a skyline Waiting for the right time

Freezing up like a rabbit in the headlights Oh, what to do? What to do? I don't think I can see it as a good sign If all of it repeats and rhymes

Ring-a-ring-a roses Oh, we all fall to the ground Every circle closes For a penny, for a pound All these things for God and for king We all keep going 'round Ring-a-ring-a roses Oh, we all fall to the ground

Line them up, take aim, who you going to blame? Imagine that, oh, imagine that Shit-scared of the horrors in your own brain Swimming pools of acid rain

Fill a glass with delusions of the good days Of blood and wine, of pearls for swine Never sure if you're paranoid or entertained Weighing up the pain and gain Oh, don't you feel ashamed?

Ring-a-ring-a roses Oh, we all fall to the ground Every circle closes For a penny, for a pound All these things for God and for king We all keep going 'round Ring-a-ring-a roses Oh, we all fall to the ground

A woman is a woman even if you want her dead Siphoning the bodies as a way to get ahead Finding hidden meaning inside everything you read Driving yourself crazy over who is in whose bed Stiff upper lip, shooting from the hip Running like a rat afraid of sinking with the ship Are you being fed? Are you ready yet? Doesn't fucking matter, on your marks, get set

Ring-a-ring-a roses Oh, we all fall to the ground Every circle closes For a penny, for a pound All these things for God and for king We all keep going 'round Ring-a-ring-a roses Oh, we all fall to the ground (on your marks, get set)

Here lies the legacy, the body, the head, and the heart And if I may command your undivided attention Now we can start Start Start Start Start
