Intro:
The only girl I've ever loved
Was born with roses in her eyes
But then they buried her alive
One evening nineteen forty-five
With just her sister at her side
And only weeks before the guns
All came and rained on everyone
Now she's a little boy in Spain
Playing pianos filled with flames
On empty rings around the sun
All sing to say my dream has come
But now we must pack up every piece
Of the life we used to love
Just to keep ourselves
At least enough to carry on
And now we ride the circus wheel
With your dark brother wrapped in white
Says it was good to be alive
But now he rides a comet's flame
And won't be coming back again
The Earth looks better from a star
That's right above from where you are
He didn't mean to make you cry
With sparks that ring and bullets fly
On empty rings around your heart
The world just screams and falls apart
But now we must pack up every piece
Of the life we used to love
Just to keep ourselves
At least enough to carry on
And here's where your mother sleeps
And here is the room where your brothers were born
In-den-tions in the sheets
Where their bo-dies once moved but don't move anymore
And it's so sad to see the world agree
That they'd rather see their faces filled with flies
Oh, and I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes
