Monarchy of Roses

One, two, one
 ♪
 The crimson tide is flowing through your fingers as you sleep
 The promise of a clean regime are promises we keep
 Do you like it rough, I ask and are you up to task?
 The calicoes of Pettibon where cultures come to clash
 Several of my best friends wear the colours of the crown
 And Mary wants to build it up
 And Sherry wants to tear it all back down, girl
 The saviour of your light
 The monarchy of roses
 The monarchy of roses tonight
 ♪
 The cross between my former queen
 Her legendary stare
 The holy tears of Ireland
 The lovely cross to bear
 Several of my best friends know the secrets of this town
 And Mary wants to raise it up
 And Sherry wants to spit it all around, girl
 The sailors of the night
 The monarchy of roses
