I'm coming up roses now, flying high No one can touch me as I wave goodbye I'm tall as a willow baby, tall as a willow I'm sure not sorry for that You wouldn't believe the stuff I know and have collected 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 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 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, home is far away 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? Can you feel the way I've grown and disconnected 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 The night is long the day is long The night is long the day is long A first thought came to the sound The night is long the day is long And it filled itself with spectrum So it can see from the back of it's head You can feel the beat fall in It did that, just bite me Fill me up with sins Feel the beat fall in A beast at the core of it's nature A beast at the core of it's nature
