You pick me up in the evening
I wear a disguise
I've been hiding out through the days

So I don't get caught in this web of lies

When I first saw you

You were cool as lemon eyes
You can make my blood run cold
And warm me up before sunrise


But I can't understand what it takes to keep my man
Ooh ooh

You fall through my hands
Like the desert's drifting sand
Ooh ooh


Take me where the roses grow
To the place that no one knows


When we came upon the desert track
They were buzzing round like flies

The sound of silence through the air
Writhing blue lit up the night


If we ever make it out of here
I'll tell you where to go
Wait until the evening comes

Then meet me where the roses grow

But I can't understand what it takes to keep my man

Ooh ooh (Take me to the place where the roses grow)
You fall through my hands
Like the desert's drifting sand

Ooh ooh (Take me to the place where the roses grow)

But I can't understand why we tread this broken land

Ooh ooh (Take me to the place where the roses grow)
We never get too far
Always crashing in your car

Ooh ooh

I need you

I want you
Everything for you
Take me where the roses grow

To the place that no one knows

I'll tell you where to go

Where the red, red roses grow
Ooh ooh (Take me to the place where the roses grow)
Our love is a disease

But there's no cure for what you need
Ooh ooh (Take me to the place where the roses grow)


Meet me in the dark
Feel the beating of my heart
Ooh ooh (Take me to the place where the roses grow)

We never get too far
Always crashing in your car


Take me to the place where the roses grow
To the place that no one knows
