Elliott Smith
Coming Up Roses
[Verse 1]
I'm a junkyard full of false starts
And I don't need your permission
To bury my love under this bare light bulb

[Pre-Chorus]
The moon is a sickle cell
It'll kill you in time
Your cold white brother will ride in your blood
Like spun glass in sore eyes

[Chorus]
While the moon does its division
You're buried below
And you're coming up roses everywhere you go
Red roses follow

[Verse 2]
The things that you tell yourself
They'll kill you in time
Your cold white brother alive in your blood
Spinning in the night sky

[Chorus]
While the moon does its division
You're buried below
And you're coming up roses everywhere you go
Red roses
So you got in a kind of trouble that nobody knows
It's coming up roses everywhere you go
Red roses
