Take Me Where the Roses Grow - Mystery Jets, Thumpers, Gaggle

You pick me up in the evening

I wear a disguise

I’ve been hiding out through the days

So I don’t get caught in this web of lies

When I first saw you

You were cool as lemon eyes

You can make my blood run cold

And warm me up before sunrise

But I can’t understand what it takes to keep my mind

Oooh ooooh

You fall through my hands

Like a desert’s drifting sand

Oooh ooooh

Take me where the roses grow

To the place that no one knows

When we came upon the desert track

They were buzzing round like flies

The sound of silence through the air

Writhing blue lit up the night

If we ever make it out of here

I’ll tell you where to go

Wait until the evening comes

Then meet me where the roses grow

But I can’t understand what it takes to keep my mind

Oooh oooh (Take me to the place where the roses grow)

You fall through my hands

Like a desert’s drifting sand

Oooh oooh (Take me to the place where the roses grow)

But I can’t understand why we tread this broken land

Oooh oooh (Take me to the place where the roses grow)

We never get too far

Always crashing in your car

Oooh oooh

I need you

I want you

Everything for you

Take me where the roses grow

To the place that no one knows

I’ll tell you where to go

Where the red, red roses grow

Oooh oooh (Take me to the place where the roses grow)

Our love is a disease

But there’s no cure for what you need

Oooh oooh (Take me to the place where the roses grow)

Meet me in the dark

Feel the beating of my heart

Oooh oooh (Take me to the place where the roses grow)

We never get too far

Always crashing in your car

Take me to the place where the roses grow

To the place that no one knows
