Chvrches Roses Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On the edge of a city in a slow dive
Or so say you, so say you
Crosshairs in the center of a skyline
Waiting for the right time
Freezing up like a rabbit in the headlights
Oh, what to do? What to do?
I don't think I can see it as a good sign
If all of it repeats and rhymes

[Chorus]
Ring-a-ring-a roses
Oh, we all fall to the ground
Every circle closes
For a penny, for a pound
All these things for God and for king
We all keep going 'round
Ring-a-ring-a roses
Oh, we all fall to the ground

[Verse 2]
Line them up
Take aim
Who you going to blame?
Imagine that
Oh, imagine that
Shit-scared of the horrors in your own brain
Swimming pools of acid rain
Fill a glass with delusions of the good days
Of blood and wine, of pearls for swine
Nеver sure if you're paranoid or еntertained
Weighing up the pain and gain
Oh, don't you feel ashamed?

[Chorus]
Ring-a-ring-a roses
Oh, we all fall to the ground
Every circle closes For a penny, for a pound
All these things for God and for king
We all keep going 'round
Ring-a-ring-a roses
Oh, we all fall to the ground

[Bridge]
A woman is a woman even if you want her dead
Siphoning the bodies as a way to get ahead
Finding hidden meaning inside everything you read
Driving yourself crazy over who is in whose bed
Stiff upper lip
Shooting from the hip
Running like a rat afraid of sinking with the ship
Are you being fed?
Are you ready yet?
Doesn't f*cking matter
On your marks, get set

[Chorus]
Ring-a-ring-a roses
Oh, we all fall to the ground
Every circle closes
For a penny, for a pound
All these things for God and for king
We all keep going 'round
Ring-a-ring-a roses
Oh, we all fall to the ground (On your marks, get set)

[Outro]
Here lies the legacy, the body, the head and the heart
And if I may command your undivided attention
Now we can start
Start
Start
Start
Start
Start
