you´re standing off the white church and you´re pitching me three words
it yells a name falling off of - off my list of names
those crashing lights, life is just like that - it´s easy to forget
we make plans, and for the second i hit cold as the dirt black night grows close

who has been painting my roses red?
i have nothing to show for you
i have nothing to show for you
i never wanted to play the fool for you

the dead come out - the beautiful ones are chosen
to dance and shout - terrified and holding
onto the one and only thing they ever had
a heart that´s not dead but is dying in their hands

why don´t you - you never get tan?
you try and try but you just don´t
your crying eyes they start to bleed
how come i can´t get no...
why don´t you - you never get tan?
you try and try but you just don´t
your crying eyes they start to bleed
how come i can´t get no sleep?

your smile grew thin as your family talked
arrived singing just a holiday song
that didn´t stop until you drank too much
how come i´m so out of...

i have nothing to show for you
i have nothing to show for you
i never wanted to play the fool for you
