Chlorine & Wine

When I called on my nursemaid
 Come sit by my side
 But she cuts through my rib cage
 Pushes the pills deep in my eyes (eyes, eyes, eyes)
 ♪
 The taste was much sweeter
 Than chlorine and wine
 And my doctor's unable
 Cut through the cable that leads to my mind (mind, mind, mind)
 In spite of the winter
 There's ways to keep warm
 Whatever you give me
 Please know that I'll ask you for more (more, more, more)
 The day I stopped swiming
 Came out of the tide
 I'd never felt so uncomfortably dumb
 Here by your side (side, side, side)
 ♪
 Black rose on the bed
 Turning to fire
 Black rose in the vein
 Shine in your eye
 Please
 Don't lay me down
 Under the rock where I found
 My place in the ground
 Hope for the fathers and sons
 Black rose on the bed
 Turning to fire
 Black rose in the vein
 Shine in your eye
 Please
 Don't lay me down
