Lyrics
On a beautiful day as the wind moves the trees,
and the sun is shining down upon us breaking right through the leaves; we poured some wine into cups when we got out of the car. If you promise to sing I'll play my guitar.
Were just sitting in the rose garden, having ourselves a ball. The people that all pass by, don't know if we're fucked up at all.
Honey you ain't got no faith in all your yesterdays,
but I still think you're beautiful 'cause you're still tryin' today. We can't make sense of things with no reason or rhyme. At least we've got this special place to waste our time.
And When the leaves have all fallen and the roses are all dead we'll still be right here in the rose garden just me and my friends
Baby if this is my life, then this is how I'll spend my time. James can smoke his cigarettes as we will drink our wine. We'll drink ourselves stupid and try not to make a scene.
We're about as classy as a porno magazine...
If you find that you need me and your life is out of place, just come down to Balboa park on
any Saturday.
