Stoplight Roses |
You’ve practiced and rehearsed |
But in your heart you know |
It’s too late |
Experience should tell you |
Never get your story too straight |
You’d better steel yourself |
And prepare for |
Some blues to descend |
'Cause you’ve broken something this time |
Stoplight roses can’t mend |
You’ve dusted off your shame face |
In the mirror behind the bathroom door |
That little-boy-lost look |
That used to work so well |
Doesn’t anymore |
If you believe your same-old used-to-be |
Will see you through |
You’ll last about as long as stoplight roses do |
Stoplight roses |
In their sad array |
Love’s promise in cellophane lace |
Or dead giveaway? |
You’ll need time to devise |
A stylish plan |
And you’ll do it driving over to |
The stoplight roses man |
And if you believe your same-old used-to-be |
Will see you through |
You’ll last about as long as stoplight roses do |
