Almost Rosey Lyrics

Tori Amos
American Doll Posse
Almost Rosey
Just a minute of your time, yes
I’ve been known to delude myself
so let me put those rose colored glasses to the test
Now, is this real enough for you?
'Cause blondes here don’t jump out of cakes
If that never impressed you much
come board this lunatic express

Just why do they say have a nice day, anyway?
We both know they wouldn’t mind
if I just curled up and died
Oh, let’s not give that one a try

Chin up
Put on a pair of these rosies
Raise those blinds
Chin up
A happy mask was never your best disguise
Chin up
Put on a pair of these rosies
In no time
You will feel almost fine
Almost rosey

Now some girls here will huddle with
no, not footballers that are rich
but will confide in small white sticks
he bats his, the virginian slim
then i tried once to comply with
an authority that would subsidize my wild side
but if this altar were sacrificed
Yes, you can laugh, a femme fatal
in a bride dress now married to
the effortlessness of the cracks
that lie now in between the facts

Just why do they say have a nice day, anyway?
We both know they wouldn’t mind
if I just curled up and died

Oh, let’s not give that one a try

Chin up
Put on a pair of these rosies
Raise those blinds
Chin up
A happy mask was never your best disguise
Chin up
Put on a pair of these rosies
In no time
You will feel almost fine
Almost rosey

And how about when Violet died
the cause still unidentified
She thought her love would be enough
but you can’t seduce seduction
Her tentacles of endless want
reached through my corridors
and tempt me to taste of her power
I sober with the witching hour
And when I hear of one more bomb, yes
we have all been robbed of song
and nightingales who throw their arms up
when is enough-enough?

Just why do they say have a nice day, anyway?
We both know they wouldn’t mind
if I just curled up and died
Oh, let’s not give that one a try

Chin up
Put on a pair of these rosies
Raise those blinds
Chin up
A happy mask was never your best disguise
Chin up
Put on a pair of these rosies
In no time
You will feel almost fine
Almost rosey
