Oh Roxy Lyrics

Well I play where the roses go
And this high, your affection was all I'd ever know
Every daylight the luck will dream
You were there in pieces, I saw you could be redeemed

Darlin it's no use playing this role
It can break your heart, it can split your soul
Playing this game makes you hard and cold
Let me take these chains and this blindfold
Roxy, please don't go
Roxy, please don't go

I swear I'm not here to make you sigh
I know the sun leaves you cold and the moon makes you cry
Nothing is everything, everything is all right
You know I'm the one to turn your black white

Darlin it's a crime how you keep yourself safe
How you turn this wheel light into your grey
Give me just a sign that your heart still beats
That you've walked your last down these dead end streets
Roxy, please don't go
Roxy, please don't go

Darlin there's no use playing this role
It can break your heart, it can split your soul
Playing this game makes you hard and cold
Let me take these chains and this blindfold
Roxy, please don't go
Roxy, please don't go
Roxy, please don't go
Roxy, please don't go

Well I play where the roses go
And this high, your affection was all I'd ever know
Every daylight the luck will dream
You were there in pieces, I saw you could be redeemed

Darlin it's no use playing this role
It can break your heart, it can split your soul
Playing this game makes you hard and cold
Let me take these chains and this blindfold
Roxy, please don't go
Roxy, please don't go

I swear I'm not here to make you sigh
I know the sun leaves you cold and the moon makes you cry
Nothing is everything, everything is all right
You know I'm the one to turn your black white

Darlin it's a crime how you keep yourself safe
How you turn this wheel light into your grey
Give me just a sign that your heart still beats
That you've walked your last down these dead end streets
Roxy, please don't go
Roxy, please don't go

Darlin there's no use playing this role
It can break your heart, it can split your soul
Playing this game makes you hard and cold
Let me take these chains and this blindfold
Roxy, please don't go
Roxy, please don't go
Roxy, please don't go
Roxy, please don't go

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
