Black rose de John Cale

Everybody melting but the heat just won't affect ya
backlot casanovas and black russian defectors
are here to take your picture away
i know you don't have space left on your windowsill
Black rose - long thorn
white rose - still born
standing on the corner just baying at the moon
just another little miss too-much-far-too-soon
Dreamstreet romance is not the same as burning love
you can light a thousand candles, you can wear your satin glove
and you can dance, dance, dance from here to sunday
you can dance, dance, dance from here to sunday
Black rose - long thorn
white rose - still born
standing on the corner howling at the moon
just another little miss too-much-far-too-soon
