They roll sidewalk here at nine   Tuck it under their arm   So I walk alone through my dirt   Safe from joy of temptations harm   From barmen quick to sympathise   Sigh, nod your head and fill your glass   Collar loose, trained tear in eye   Soothe your' ill with some cheapskate pass      Blood red petals cloud the view of   A copper disc moon hung up clear   There's a rose growing through my heart      I'm dying without you here   So much rain on Troy   Is it ever gonns dry up?      All the slot machines stopped flashing   Road's icy out by the Super 8   This whole town just lost it's passion   On the North road to the interstate   The joker says "go bet the lot   Taste the loss and try again"   I meant it when I said I'd stop    Did you ever hear me lay a bet on when   Poison from a sharp tooth thorn   Does it's hard work in my veins   There's a rose growing cold and forlorn   I'm dying without you out in the rain      Stars blink up at night-time's test   Their sleepless eyes search for sun   There's a rose growing through my chest      My roots have been ripped up by the race I've run   So much rain on Troy   Is it ever gonna dry up?
