Agnes just stop and think a minute
Why don't you light that cigarette and
Calm down now stop and breathe a second
Go back to the very beginningCan't you see what was different then?
You were just popping Percocet
Maybe just four a week at best
Maybe a smoke to clear the headYour head is so numb
That nervous breath you try to hide
Between the motions
That trembling tender little sighAnd so it goes
A choking rose back
To be reborn
I want to hold you like you're mineYou see the sad in everything a
Genius of love and loneliness and
This time you overdid the liquor
This time you pulled the fuckin' triggerThese days you're rolling all the time
So low so you keep getting high
Where went that cheeky friend of mine?
Where went that billion dollar smile?Guess life is long
When soaked in sadness
On borrowed time
From Mr MadnessAnd so it goes
A choking rose back
To be reborn
I want to hold you like you're mineYou're gone but you're on my mind
I'm lost but I don't know why
