(Rosesleeves)

[Verse 1]

Old friend, it's me and you again

And, old boy, as me and you rejoice

Yeah, I can't help thinkin' 'bout the way we joked

In those funeral homes, yeah, I could only hope it was appropriate

[Refrain]

So make me laugh

As for my last request

If I don't take it back, would you ignore my last request?

Oh, would you make me laugh?

As for my last request

Babe, I won't make it back

Yeah, I am sure there's nothing left

[Chorus]

But as a, a reminder

Ready when you find her

I-I repress the iridescence of a fire

And won't you mind him?

Steady when you find him

I confess the incandescence of a dying light

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Consume me through the night

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Consume me through the night

[Verse 2]

Old man, I'm done always abiding by the plan (I'm done always abiding by the plan)

And old boy (old boy), we knew you really never had a choice (never had a choice)

But I can't help thinkin' 'bout the way we loved

I was cancer then, now I can hardly come to terms (terms)

Losing her (losing her)

[Refrain]

So would you make me laugh?

As for my last request

Babe, I won't make it back

Yeah, I am sure there's nothing left

[Chorus]

But as a, a reminder

Ready when you find her

I-I repress the iridescence of a fire

W-won't you mind him?

Steady when you find him

I confess the incandescence of a dying light

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Consume me through the night

Oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 3]

If I was the king of the thing, then you could have it all

If you lied and called me your queen, then you could have the dogs

If I was the swingingest thing, then you could have a ball

Show me one more effort, boy, you know that I could make it better

If I was the king of the thing, then you could have it all

If you lied and called me your queen, then you could have the dogs

If I was the only thing you couldn't bear to lose

I'd set fire to the wood just so you wouldn't have to bury me too
