Rosebud - The Silver Field

Stop, let's take a moment You are what you are, I'm no alarmist One look, if you wanna see There's a Rosebud for you and one for me A cage holds you We've all got one we call home In the event of a 911 Who holds the key is what you need to know Use those keys and take a drive Through the back alleys of your mind, have mercy Use those keys and take a drive Through the back alleys of your mind, have mercy A cage holds you We've all got one we call home In the event of a 911 Who holds the key is what you need to know Let's face it Admit that it's all related Just try it with eyes closed, you'll make it It'll hurt, I promise you What is your Rosebud, you've got to know The secret won't reach the coast I see a man in the crowd with a rope Death arms like a crooked T No act of telepathy could reveal your Rosebud to me Let's face it Admit that it's all related Don't mess this up now You'll make it It'll hurt, I promise you What is your Rosebud, you've got to know It'll hurt It'll hurt It'll hurt It'll hurt, I promise you It'll hurt It'll hurt It'll hurt, I promise you
