Roses Are Free (1997‐11‐12) Songtext
von Phish

Take a piece of tinsel
And put it on the tree
Cut a slab a melon
And pretend that you still love me
Carve out a pumpkin
And rely on your destiny
Get in your car
And cruise the land of the brave
And the free
But dont forget to understand
Exactly what you put on the tree
Dont belive the florist when he tells
You that the roses are free
Take a wrinkled raisin
And do with it what you will


Push it into third
If you know your gonna climb a hill
Eat plenty of lasagna
Til you know that you had your fill
Resist all the urges
That make you wanna go out and kill
But dont forget to understand
Exactly what you put on the tree
Dont belive the florist when he tells
You that the roses are free
Throw that pumpkin at the tree
Unless you think that pumpkin
Holds your destiny
Cast it off into the sea
Bake that pie and eat it with me
