Fake Roses

I’m dancing all alone
Can’t seem to get my feet just right
Second summer on the moon
You know it gets so cold at night

We used to pick flowers for Elvis
But now the meadows all gone
Now we just dream of buildings
Fake roses planted in the front lawn

All that I wanted
I didn’t need it
All that I wanted
I didn’t need it
All that I wanted
I couldn’t let that go

The elevator rush
Can’t tell it’s going up or it's down
When you just can’t get enough
It’s been awhile since you touched the ground

I don’t want to rain on your holiday
With my hallucinations
But the truth always cuts like a razor blade
Just when you’re having big fun

All that I wanted
I didn’t need it
All that I wanted
I didn’t need it
All that I wanted
I don’t need that now

All that I wanted
I didn’t need it
All that I wanted
I didn’t need it
All that I wanted
I just let that go

There’s water in your mercury
There’s thunder in your eyes
When all you want is America
And all I do is drive
Still miles and headlights from you baby
