Almost Rosey

Just a minute of your time Yes I've been known to delude myself So let me put those rose Colored glasses to the test Now is this real enough for you Cause blonds here don't jump out of cakes If that never impressed you much Come board this lunatic express Just why do they say Have a nice day anyway We both know they wouldn't mind If I just curled up and died Let's not give that one a try Chin up put on a pair of these roseys Raise those blinds Chin up a happy mask was never Your best disguise Chin up put on a pair of these roseys In no time you will feel almost fine Almost rosey Now some girls here will huddle with No not footballers that are rich But will confide in small white sticks He bats as The Virginian Slim Then I tried once to comply With an authority that would Subsidize my wild side But at this altar was sacrificed Yes you can laugh a femme fatale In a bride's dress now married to The effortlessness of the cracks That lie now in between the facts Now about when violet died The cause still unidentified She thought her love would be enough But you can't seduce seduction Her tentacles of endless want Reach through my corridors And tempt me to taste of her power I sober with the witching hour And when I hear of one more bomb Yes we have all been robbed of song And nightingales who throw their arms up When is enough enough? --- Almost Rosey - Tori Amos
