Smell the Roses

There's a mad dog pulling at his chain

A hint of danger in his eye

Alarm bells raging round his brain

And the chimney's broken in the skyWake up

Wake up and smell the roses

Close your eyes and pray this wind don't change

There's nothing but screams in the field of dreams

Nothing but hope at the end of the road

Nothing but gold in the chimney smoke

Come on honey it's real moneyThis is the room where they make the explosives

Where they put your name on the bomb

Here's where they bury the buts and the ifs

And scratch out words like right and wrong

Wake up

Wake up and smell the phosphorus

This is the room we keep a human heir

Don't ask don't tell it couldn't be lost for us

Little less cash in the stash in the cupboard

At the bottom of the stair

Money honey

Wake up

Wake up and smell the bacon

Run your greasy fingers through her hair

This is the life that you have takenJust a line in the captain's log

Just a whine from a resident dog

Another kid didn't make the grade

Come on honey it's a fair trade

Wake up

Wake up and smell the roses

Throw a photo on the funeral pyre

Now we can forget the threat she poses

Girl you know you couldn't get much higher
