Plastered in your newspaper palace

Dishes and the backdoor slams

The dogs on the floor

They don't roam anymore

And the rivers gone deaf at the dam

The dust falls like rain on your doorsteps

Chokes you when you lift your rake

No wine so sweet is the taste of your mouth

But your love ain't the kind you can keep

Oh roses and cigarettes

Pillow case that remembers you

The scent of you still lingers on my fingertips

Think I might go insane

Seen how you look at the stranger

I see how you wait when hes gone

If I told you I thought

That there was a sin in your heart

Could you honestly tell me I'm wrong

Oh roses and cigarettes

Pillowcase that remembers you

The scent of you still lingers on my fingertips

Till I think I might go insane

When will I see you again

She tells you that she needs you she a liar

She tells you she a hero she a fool

She tells you he'll stay till the lords breaking day

Then babe she ain't nothing but cruel

Oh roses and cigarettes

Pillowcase that remembers you

The scent of you still lingers on my fingertips

Think I might go insane

When will I see you again

When will I see you again

When will I see you again

When will I see you see you again
