Rose and Thorn Songtext
von 13th Floor Elevators

The brand new smile and brand new angel face
It won′t change, it won't change
You′re here to stay 'til your last living breath is complete
It won't change, it won′t change

Here she comes, my love
With the earth beneath her feet, my love
She comes, she cares
I do not ask her why she cares, she cares


And this is not untold
Within her eyes, spoken by her soul
The dawn of truth will rise
Liberty will find us

Thrown cold in aging stone
The cannon shall cease firing
The unknown soldier will come home
A union of remaining
Wicked words of men can only fall
A single trumpet plays

The rose and thorn
The rise and the fall
