Tori Amos - Almost Rosey lyrics

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 blondes 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?
