Lyrics Roses and Cigarettes - Ray LaMontagne
Plastered
in
your
newspaper
palace
Dishes
and
the
backdoor
slams
The
dogs
on
your
floor
They
don't
roam
anymore
And
the
rivers
gone
deaf
at
the
dam
The
dust
falls
like
rain
on
your
doorsteps
Chokes
you
when
you
lift
your
rake
A
wine
so
sweet
is
the
taste
of
your
mouth
But
your
love
ain't
the
kind
you
can
keep
Oh
roses
and
cigarettes
Pillow
case
that
remembers
you
The
scent
of
you
still
lingers
on
my
fingertips
'Til
I
think
I
might
go
insane
When
will
I
see
you
again?
Seen
how
you
look
at
the
stranger
I've
seen
how
you
wait
when
he's
gone
If
I
told
you
I
thought
there
was
a
sin
in
your
heart
Could
you
honestly
tell
me
I'm
wrong?
Oh
roses
and
cigarettes
Pillowcase
that
remembers
you
The
scent
of
you
still
lingers
on
my
fingertips
'Til
I
think
I
might
go
insane
When
will
I
see
you
again?
He
tells
you
that
he
needs
you,
he's
a
liar
He
tells
you
he's
a
hero,
he's
a
fool
He
tells
you
he'll
stay
'til
the
Lord's
breaking
day
Then
babe,
he
ain't
nothing
but
cruel
Oh
roses
and
cigarettes
Pillowcase
that
remembers
you
The
scent
of
you
still
lingers
on
my
fingertips
'Til
I
think
I
might
go
insane
When
will
I
see
you
again?
