Battle of the Roses Songtext

von Rainmakers

I jumped ship
Heard the sirens singing
Swam like a sinner till
I reached the shore
Bum trip
The mutiny was brewing
Candle to the keg to the ocean floor

Now I'm alone, yes I'm alone
The old world's sinking like a stone

I am a man without a country
And I'm a boy without a home
I'm a casualty of the battle of the roses
And the war of the broken home

I got busted for drinking while thinking
Carrying a weapon under my coat
And I trusted the wrong bunch of people
And now I'm a pirate on the bad dream boat

And I'm alone, yes I'm alone
And now I fly the skull and bones

[Chorus]

Oh I see land (ho!) divided down the middle
And the sides are divided and divided again
I see so (so!) many people lonely
Lover hating lover
Friend against friend

And I'm alone, yes I'm alone
And now I'm never going home

[Chorus]
