She's the angel on top

of the tree

sugar high here she comes

Sh's going to call on me

innocence was on fire

we told the truth

I miss the sweet boys in the

Summer of their youth



Tear the petals off of you

And make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you



They will make you so so cynical

the fire burns the flesh destroys

the best that made us all

She's the grace of this world

She's too pure

For the wrecks of this world

this world is a whore



Tear the petals off of you

and make you tell the truth

tear the petals off of you



Hey, it's all mine

I never knew what I could be

all the darling buds of May

they fall with no sound

they carry you down

they carry you down

All the lilies bloomed and blossomed

Wilted and they're shivering

I can't stop their withering

Oh, this world is a war



Tear the petals off of you

and make you tell the truth

tear the petals off of you
