Coming Up Roses

[Verse 1]
I'm coming up roses now, flying high
No-one can touch me as I wave good-bye
I'm tall as a willow, baby, tall as a willow
I'm sure not sorry for that

[Chorus]
You wouldn't believe the stuff I know
And have collected

[Verse 2]
I'm hung up on breathing now when I want
No-one can hurt me when I'm in trouble
I'm strong as I'm mellow, baby, strong as I'm mellow
I sure am happy for that

[Chorus]
Have you ever seen the things I own
And have neglected
They're all quite strange
And unconnected
And that's why they're strong

[Post-Chorus]
A mile is long when home is far away
Coming up roses now, flying high
A mile is long when home is far away
Home is far away

[Verse 3]
I'm holding the fiddle now, playing hard
I've learnt my lesson in self-composure
I shout and I bellow, baby, shout and I bellow
Can you hear me out back?

[Chorus]
Can you feel the way I've grown
And disconnected

[Post-Chorus]
A mile is long when home is far away
Coming up roses now, flying high
A mile is long when home is far away
Coming up roses now, flying high
A mile is long when home is far away
The night is long, the day is long
The night is long, the day is long
A mile is long when home is far away
Home is far away

[Outro]
The night is long, the day is long
The night is long, the day is long
A first thought came to the sound
And it filled itself with spectrum
So it can see from the back of its head
Feel the beat fall in
It did that to spite me
Throw me off the scent
Feel the beat fall in
A beast at the core of its nature
A beast at the core of its nature
