Lyrics for Tasche & the Psychedelic Roses

She didn’t mean to please you

You’ve always been a maniac

She didn’t mean to move you

She stopped you in your tracks

She didn’t know her power

You never let her have that choice

You always tried to stop her

Afraid of weight inside her voice

She could break her silence

She could rise up from the dead

It’s more advanced than science

She can sing inside your head

When she left she became sound

No restrictions to hold her down

Dance in black up in the sky

With a hook inside her eye

We’re told to hate each other

We're told to bring each other down

We're in for nasty weather

There ain't time to mess around

Many women left us

Many good men passed away

All that's left here is us

Our hearts torches to the flame

When she left she became sound

No restrictions to hold her down

Dance in black up in the sky

With a hook inside her eye

Make me a happy song she said

Put a bullet to her head

Fire one shot and she’s dead

And she’s never coming back

But she haunts you in your dreams

And it’s not her so it seems

But it is

Oh yes it is

She’s your demon

So be scared

And you fucking bastard you

You killed a child so you’re through

Killed a pansy, killed a few

And they never will be new

And you haunt her in her dreams

You are Jesus so it seems

But you’re not

Not her lover

Undercover

Not her father

Make me a happy song you said

Put some roses on your head

Pull the trigger and you’re dead

But you’re always coming back

And she haunts you in your dreams

And it’s not her so it seems

But it is

Oh yes it is

She’s a demon

So be scared

Make me a happy song you said

Put some roses on your head

Pull the trigger and you’re dead

But you’re always coming back

You’re a zombie

Not an angel

You’re a killer

Motherfucker!

Is this goodbye?

Put your shoes on

Touch the doorknob

Are you leaving?

Is this so long?

Tie your laces

Turn the handle

Please don’t tease me

I have always loved you and now it’s time to sleep

Goodnight, sweet dreams, my love

I won’t make a peep

You say it's snowing

Outside

My mind

You say it’s glowing

I’m blind

So blind

Blue window longing

In your eye

Your sweet eye

My heart is pouring

Numb cries

Numb cries

Wooden horses

Empty jackets

Fly is tapping

Broken glasses

Dirty dishes

Lonely fishes

Silent crickets

Single tickets

I apologize that I’ve been such a child

Who cries, and holds you down

My temper has gone wild

You say it's snowing

Outside

My mind

You say it’s glowing

I’m blind

So blind

Blue window longing

In your eye

Your sweet eye

My heart is pouring

Numb cries

Numb cries

All pretty things must come to pass

Held with a force the image cracks

You can’t pour someone in your void

Cherished possessions become destroyed

Look inside yourself to find love

Look deep enough and you’ll find god

Free yourself from clutches of the brainwashed codependence

The hottest way to hold someone is golden self reliance

The girl in black who’s strong enough to hold herself, to stand back up to fight

Gave into sweet temptation

Mouth to mouth, heart to heart

Our saliva sealed attachment

Couldn’t stand to be apart

Free yourself from clutches of the brainwashed codependence

The hottest way to hold someone is golden self reliance

The girl in black who’s strong enough to hold herself, to stand back up to fight

My love

Your love

Our love

Their love

All pretty things must come to pass

Held with a force the image cracks

You can’t pour someone in your void

Cherished possessions become destroyed

Look inside yourself to find love

Look deep enough and you’ll find god

Sweet dreams while we are alive

Truth it lies behind the music

Light beams deep within our hearts

We’ll never part in spirit

Sun beams overflowing pride

Let’s ride in the tide together

Diving, deep within the sweetness

Dream with me

Will you be my daffodil, oh, won’t you be my daffodil?

I will love you, I will kiss you, I will love you, I insist you be my daffodil

Cuz I want you

I can’t be your daffodil, no, I can’t be your daffodil

If you cut my like a flower and you put me in a tower, I got no free will

Though I want you

You

Please be my sweet daffodil, oh, please be my sweet daffodil

I will never beg your pardon, and I’ll plant you in my garden out my windowsill

Cuz I want you

I can’t be your daffodil, I’ll never be your daffodil

I am moving, I am dreaming and the sun is always beaming, can’t keep me still

Though I want you

You

Why oh why can’t you keep still, oh, why oh why can’t you keep still?

Gently pin you to my pocket, put your picture in my locket cuz you’re lost until

I have you

I need my kicks and I need my thrills, gotta get my kicks, gotta have those thrills

If you really wanna pick me, you better grow some petals with me and be my daffodil

Cuz I want you

You

I will be your daffodil if you will be my daffodil

We can pollinate each other, give the butterflies a flutter, put you in my will

Cuz I cherish you

Yes I cherish you

There’s a hole in my head

Electric insects are shocking me

Through the holes of the TV screen

Sentiments have been so mean

I have to love through the TV screen

Is there any meaning in this storm?

Is true love a dying art form?

There’s a hole in my head

Don't let me down

Is there any meaning in this storm?

Is true love a dying art form?

When the golden light of evening has fallen

Just before the summer ends

Come to where the ground and I do lie calling

Yonder where the river bends

There we wait with wicked ways to please you

With the wicked spiders all around my hair

Owls that screech their paths across the falling dew, silvery nets of stars above

They are gathered solely to give witness to, one night of forbidden love

I could never run away from this love

Sooner leave my bones out to be parched by the sun

Sweet and damp and dark and brown and musty earth

Makes up for our love in bed

Grasses with the insects and the flowers form

A pillow for your dear sweet head

I could never run away from this love

Sooner leave my heart out to be torn by wolves

Pull my ear down to your chest and breathe me in

Listen as the morning wakes

I can hear the sound of your sweet heart breaking

Just before my own heart breaks

I could never run away from this love

Sooner leave my soul out to be pecked by birds

We heard the bell ring, it was enticing and it opened up the sky

In the past we couldn’t see an inch before us

Thinking of ourselves and nothing more

We heard it ringing, like starlight singing and it opened up the door

By then we entered into newness gladly

Leaving all the weight that was in store

Don’t let the darkness trick us now, the tunnel just goes down

Now let the light in our souls

Overshine ourselves

Here are roses fresh in bloom

The stars are no longer weeping

There’s all the time and space and trust and room

Here is the sunshine, warm and kind

It doesn’t have a doubt about its presence

It doesn’t say it’s sorry all the time

The grass is greener

On the other side of life

You crossed over

Crossed over to the other side

Goodbye my friend

Goodbye my foe

Goodbye my love

That’s the way life goes

Cloths of red in sacred land

Was where I laid to hold your hand

And let you in the deepest holy parts

With every twinkle of your eye

The roses grow, the roses die

Petals gently resting on my heart

Tearing it apart

Apart

The moon is brighter

When you walk alone at night

The air is sweeter

Without the tugging at your side

Goodbye my friend

Goodbye my foe

Goodbye my love

That’s the way life goes

Re-entering a searching mind

Combed your hair and did your time

The floor has been your favorite thing to hold

Making space in every crack

The sun goes down, the sun comes back

To light your way into the arms of friends

Til the very end

The end

The stones are warmer

Behind you on the road

You turn the corner

Surrender flakes of gold

Goodbye to friends

Goodbye to foes

Goodbye to love

That’s the way life goes
