lyrics

ROSEMARY, ETC.

Rosemary, get out of my garden please
I gave you everything you wanted, it wasn’t what you dreamed
And we’re on my way now, so I guess you’re on your own
And anyways you know that Halloween was never quite my scene
I always wished that we were taking off with everybody putting on
But can’t you see it clearer now Rose, those masks was on all along
A burnt-out case is a lonely old way to leave
There ain’t no sad sea gonna be my authority
Yes but can’t you see those clouds?
The half-stitched crowns of that mystery?
Or can’t you smell the flowers for the rosemary?
And Melody, she comes to my window free
Always untroubled by the weather balloon in my front yard
Poor kid sits hypnotized by the glow of the TV light til dawn
And you know sometimes I have to worry she’s deceived
By the modesty of my things
Or just mesmerized by the death rattle
Of that cock he crows when he please
When she rings me up and says sit down there
Boy, it’s time to sing
A burnt-out case ain’t the only old way to leave
Just another baby who wasn’t ready to be free
Yes but can’t you see those clouds?
The half-stitched crowns of that mystery?
Or can’t you hear the song now for the melody?
A burnt-out case is a lonely old way to leave
There ain’t no sad sea gonna be my authority
Yes but can’t you see those clouds?
The half-stitched crowns of that mystery?
Or can’t you smell the flowers for the rosemary?
