Rosebud Songtext
von Manic Street Preachers

"Rosebud" is a dying word
A world so ugly, I built my own
Like most things I never finished
It flickers and it glistens

Black light gives a sense of peace
No trespassing over a man′s life
So pick the petals apart now
Put them together, don't ask me how
Maybe I lost a rosebud along the way
Lost a rosebud sometime today
Even after all, I told you my name
I think I lost a rosebud sometime today
I think I lost a rosebud

The days that we have seen
Are the way we should have been
Contempt is a glimpse of the past
A lifelong obsession with chance


Black-light gives a sense of peace
No trespassing over a man′s life
So pick the petals apart now
Put them together, don't ask me how
Maybe I lost a rosebud along the way
Lost a rosebud sometime today
Even after all, I told you my name
I think I lost a rosebud sometime today
I think I lost a rosebud

A black-light gives a sense of peace
No trespassing over a man's life
So pick the petals apart now
Put them together, don′t ask me how
Maybe I lost a rosebud along the way
Lost a rosebud sometime today
Even after all, I told you my name
I think I lost a rosebud sometime today
I think I lost a rosebud
