Wasting time, just going mindless
Watching your charades
When you were younger, did it occur to you

10 years from then, you'd act the same age

I cannot carry on this way

Although I've carried all your every little thing
Carry me away


Did you feel like stomping the roses
Smashing out all the feeling inside of them
It's bad business

The way you're stomping the roses

I was flipping channels on my television

And it made me feel unwell
One of those complicated soap operas
I almost felt like I was watching myself


I cannot carry on this way
Although I've carried all your every little thing

Carry me away

Did you feel like stomping the roses

Smashing out all the feeling inside of them
It's bad business
The way you're stomping the roses

Everyone knows it

I know I know I know I know it's over

And I know I know I know I've
Always been your token nice guy
I know that you rule your whole world

Thought I could live in it
But I just can't


You know you're stomping the roses
Smashing out all the feeling inside of them
It's bad business

The way you're stomping the roses
Everyone knows it


Stomping the roses
Smashing out all the feeling inside of them
It's bad business

The way you're stomping the roses

Stomping, Stomping Yeah

Take it easy, yeah
