Pretty Pink Rose Lyrics

Yeah, she's just been to Russia and they're dying their faces, they're dying over there
A pretty pink rose
That rock 'n' roll lady takes a spaceship ride, she's out of this world
A pretty pink rose
And we're living for you my love, we're living for you
And we're dying for you my love, pretty pink rose
She tore down Paris on the tail of Thom Paine
But the left wing's broken and the right's insane
A pretty pink rose
Have a nice day, it's a killer
Turn a cheek, it's a Christian code
A pretty pink rose
And we're living for you my love, yes we're living for you
And we're dying for you my love, pretty pink rose

She's the poor man's gold, she's the anarchist crucible
Flying in the face of the despot cannibal
Pretty pink rose
Never let it rain, never rain on the heart of the pretty pink rose
Pretty pink rose
And we're living for you my love, we're living for you
And we're dying for you my love, pretty pink rose

Get me through the pain, through the pain of the thorn on the pretty pink rose
Never let it rain, never rain, never rain on the pretty pink rose
Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart of the pretty pink rose
(Never let it rain, never rain, never rain)
Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart
(Never, never let it rain on the heart)
Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart of the pretty pink rose
(Never let it rain on the heart of the)
Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart
(Never let it, never let it rain, let it rain on the heart)
Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart of the pretty pink rose
Take me to the heart, to the heart
(Never let it rain, never let it rain now)
Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart of the...
