The Subject Was Roses lyrics
by Wynn Steve



By: Steve WynnSomebody slammed on the table to say we was finishedWell, that was alright 'cause our good sense had long since diminishedAnd everyone was blind from staring way down past their nosesThe old times were swinging again, the subject was rosesThe newspaper man said you're crazy to let it go sourHe said I was singing your praises last night in the showerBut a fool is a fool when he starts believing his posesThe glasses were drained again, the subject was rosestwo-three-fourHe reached for his wallet and started to show me a pictureI reached for my bible and started to read from "Scripture"Yeah, but he didn't laugh, I guess I stepped on his toe-sesThe peak was passing us by, the subject was rosesand they say:A fool and his money soon got to say goodbyeBut a drunk and his memories splits when he starts getting highThere's nothing to worry from the past when you get right down to itYou'll do what you do and you do so you just got to do itand I'll do whatever the situation proposesand I'll call it a night the next time the subject is rosesYeah, I'll call it a night the next time the subject is rosesYeah, I'll call it a night the next time the subject is roses
