[Verse 1]
Farewell, farewell to the silver bell
To the lionhearted prize
Beware, beware, hide your shadowy hair
I'm the fool who steals your time
I'm the fool who steals your time
Yeah, I'm the fool who steals your time

[Verse 2]
Come in, come in, there's vermouth in the end
Where gardenias only grow
Go south, go south, yellow roses now
I'm the clown who feeds the crow
I'm the clown who feeds the crow
Yeah, I'm the clown who feeds the crow

[Chorus]
Oh, yellow roses, right under our noses
It’d only just begun
Aligned in a chalice
In your medicine cabinet
Shuttered like a nun
Yellow roses, yellow roses
Yellow roses for someone

[Verse 3]
Appear, appear in the eyes of a seer
As a ravenous chanteuse
Alive, alive, hold me just like a child
I’m the kid waving the noose
I’m the kid waving the noose
Yeah, I’m the kid weaving the noose
[Chorus]
Oh, yellow roses, right under our noses
It’d only just begun
Aligned in a chalice
In your medicine cabinet
Shuttered like a nun
Yellow roses, yellow roses
Yellow roses for someone

[Outro]
Yellow roses, yellow roses
Yellow roses, yellow roses
Yellow roses, yellow roses
Yellow roses for someone
