Everything’s coming up roses in here (dead ones, dead ones)
The light in the dark will protect us from fears (dark ones, dark ones)
Boys the girls are liars and cheats (Girls the boys are liars and cheats)
Everything’s coming up roses in here
Everything’s turning from black to white (come on, move on)
The world that I know ain’t lookin’ right (keep on, move on)
Boys the girls are liars and cheats (Girls the boys are liars and cheats)
Everything’s turning from black to white
Everything’s fine, everything’s great
Don’t be alarmed, you know it’s never too late
Everything’s bright and everything’s clear
It’s all sanitized In here you’ll never fear
Fear is only up there
What are these thoughts that creep into my mind(shadows, sunshine)
We’ve been warned once before to keep them in line(leave it behind)
Boys the girls are liars and cheats(Girls the boys are liars and cheats)
What are these thoughts that I can’t deny
Not everything’s fine, nor everything great
No longer lie and swear it’s never too late
Everything’s bright and everything’s clean
Just realize in here you’ll never be free
Never free, Freedom’s over the line
Don’t you wait for me
Don’t come back for me
Everything’s fine and everything’s great
Don’t be alarmed, you know, it’s never too late
Everything’s bright and everything’s clean
Stay in line and you will never be free
