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
