The Rose Tattoo

David Byrne

And they were imagining Roses

As if life itself were a dream

Is a gift not a reason for living?

Not enough, not enough, so it seems



Lost in the Stars

Venus and mars

And I'm in heaven again

I'll drink to you

The Rose Tattoo

I'm the invisible man



If all of the dead are now living

And all of the living will die

Buying their tickets and changing their trains

Into the city and back home again



I'll drink to you

The Rose Tattoo

I'm the invisible man



Brinde a la Rosa

Y al hombre que no vive

Perdido en un sueño

en un atmosfera imposible



Una Rosa, sueño imposible/una Rosa, sueño imposible

No queda nada

Solo la lluvia iresistible

Tatuaje de la Rosa, pero el hombre es invisible



Una Rosa, sueno imposible/Una Rosa, no queda na



Now I haven't seen you for ages

Come in, come out of the rain

Open the doorway and climb up the stairs

This is the bedroom where we said our prayers



I'll drink to you

The Rose Tattoo

I'm the invisible man

The singer's playin' "Fly Me to the Moon"

And I'm in heaven again



Brinde a la Rosa

Y al hombre que no vive

Perdido en un sueno

en un atmosfera imposible



Una Rosa, sueño imposible/una Rosa, sueño imposible

No queda nada

Solo la lluvia iresistible

Tatuaje de la Rosa, pero el hombre is invisible



Una Rosa, sueño imposible/Una Rosa, no queda na



I'll drink to you

The Rose Tattoo

I'm the invisible man

Long live the King

Nothing remains

Only a Rose Tattoo
