The Subject Was Roses Lyrics - Singles - Wynn Steve

By: Steve Wynn 

Somebody slammed on the table to say we was finished 

Well, that was alright 'cause our good sense had long since diminished 

And everyone was blind from staring way down past their noses 

The old times were swinging again, the subject was roses 

The newspaper man said you're crazy to let it go sour 

He said I was singing your praises last night in the shower 

But a fool is a fool when he starts believing his poses 

The glasses were drained again, the subject was roses 

two-three-four 

He reached for his wallet and started to show me a picture 

I reached for my bible and started to read from "Scripture" 

Yeah, but he didn't laugh, I guess I stepped on his toe-ses 

The peak was passing us by, the subject was roses 

and they say: 

A fool and his money soon got to say goodbye 

But a drunk and his memories splits when he starts getting high 

There's nothing to worry from the past when you get right down to it 

You'll do what you do and you do so you just got to do it 

and I'll do whatever the situation proposes 

and I'll call it a night the next time the subject is roses 

Yeah, I'll call it a night the next time the subject is roses 

Yeah, I'll call it a night the next time the subject is roses
