Petals

She's the angel on

Top of the tree

Sugar, honey, here she comes

She's going to fall on me

Innocence was our fire

We told the truth

I miss the sweet boys in

The summer of their youth

Tear the petals off of you

And make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you

Tear the petals off of you

And make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you

They will make you so

So cynical

The fire burns the flesh

Destroys the best that made our souls

She's the grace of this world

She's too pure

For the likes of this world

This world is a whore

Tear the petals off of you

And make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you

Tear the petals off of you

And make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you

Oh, it's all mine

Yeah, hey, it's all mine

Hell it's all mine

I never knew what I could be

Oh, the darling buds of May

They fall with no sound

They carry you down

They carry you down

Ooh-ooh

All the lilies bloomed and blossomed

Wilted and they're shivering

I can't stop their withering

Oh, this world is a war

Tear the petals off of you

And make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you

Tear the petals off of you

And make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you

Tear the petals off of you

And make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you
