Lyrics
One, two, one
The crimson tide is flowing through 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 calicoes of Pettibon where cultures come to clash
Several of my best friends wear the colours of the crown
And Mary wants to build it up
And Sherry wants to tear it all back down, girl
The saviour 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 Ireland
The lovely cross to bear
Several of my best friends know the secrets of this town
And Mary wants to raise it up
And Sherry wants to spit 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 colours of the crown
And Mary wants to fill it up
And Sherry wants to tear it all back down, girl
The saviour 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, then I'll 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 I'll say I want to
The story knows that I will always haunt you
Hey
