Standard (EADGBE)
You should see yourself
When will you grow up?
Every knob you twist on that machine is like a crutch
But I was just the fool
You'd been waiting for
Who says we can't touch ourselves to keep from getting bored?
Nothing else is touching, that's for sure
A ring around the Roses
But I will watch you play
I come here every night
It's just me, the bartender, the waitress and the lights
Shining on you, not getting it right
We clap not for you, but for your kind
A ring around the Roses
Everybody poses
Threats and then backs down
The second you put clothes on
A ring around the Roses
Everybody knows it
I will sing your fears if
You sing my neurosis
And you should back out now
Not a night too soon
Ill still be here when the last poor soul has left the room
Standing round just like a good friend should
Smiling as if your songs were good
A ring around the Roses
Everybody poses
Threats and then backs down
The second you put clothes on
A ring around the Roses
Everybody knows it
I will sing your fears if
You sing my neurosis
And I sat there for hours
Waiting on the curb
Thinking you might like a flower from a pretty girl
A ring around the waitress from the verse
A ring of fire around the Roses' door
Put it on before you lose your nerve
Put your hands together and they'll hurt
Put your hands together and they'll hurt
Put your hands together and they'll hurt
Put your hands together and they'll hurt
Put your hands together and they'll hurt
Make your sound that no one's ever heard
Make your sound that no one's ever heard
And I hope we get what we deserve
