Charles Bukowski - Hooray Say The Roses lyrics
[Charles Bukowski - Hooray Say The Roses lyrics]
And we are red as blood
Hooray say the roses, today is Wednesday
And we bloom where soldiers fell
And lovers too, And the snake at the word
Hooray say the roses, darkness comes
All at once, like lights gone out
The sun leaves dark continents
And rows of stone
Hooray say the roses, cannons and spires
Birds, bees, bombers, today is Friday
The hand holding a medal out the window
A moth going by, half a mile an hour
Hooray hooray hooray say the roses
We have empires on our stems
The sun moves the mouth:
Hooray hooray hooray
And that is why you like us
