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?
