Red Hot Chili Peppers - Monarchy Of Roses Lyrics:

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 on to task? 
the calicoes of pettibon where cultures come to clash 

[chorus:] 
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 tonight 

the cloth between my former queen, her legendary stare 
the holy tears that i am in, the lovely cross to bear 

[chorus:] 
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 

[chorus:] 
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, and then i'll say i want to 
the story of love 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, and then i'll say i want to 
the story of love that i will always want you 
hey
