I Smelt Roses (in The Underground) Lyrics - Singles - Watts John

NEARLY FELL DOWN A BASEMENT FLOOR AS 

I WEAVED MY WAY THROUGH THE WELL DRESSED CROWDS 

IN SEARCH OF YOU. 

I TOOK HOPE FROM THE SAXOPHONE THOUGH 

HER MOUTH GREW COLD SHE STILL BLEW OUT 

A SYMPHONY. . . 

THE SCENE IS FAMILIAR. I LOOK AGAIN. 

WHEN I CAME HERE WITH YOU BEFORE IT WAS DIFFERENT. 

I SAW BEAUTY IN THIS WASTED LAND 

I SMELT ROSES IN THE UNDERGROUND 

I SAW A FUTURE WHEN YOU WERE AROUND. 

BUT NOW IT'S OVER. 

THROUGH THE DARKNESS I CALLED YOUR NAME 

AS THE FRIENDLY FACES MODE THEIR WAY 

T0 SEE THE GAME. 

SOMEONE STOPPED ME AND ASKED THE WAY 

I SHRUGGED AND SMILED BUT SHE GLARED AT ME 

IMPATIENTLY. 

THE AMERCAN WAITRESS STILL KNOWS YOUR NAME 

WHEN I CAME HERE WITH YOU BEFORE IT WAS DIFFERENT. 

I SAW BEAUTY IN THIS WASTED LAND 

I SMELT ROSES IN THE UNDERGROUND 

I SAW A FUTURE WHEN YOU WERE AROUND 

BUT NOW IT'S OVER. 

YOU'LL ALWAYS HAUNT ME.
