there's a girl i know with a poison rose

she's gonna bring her

i suppose



everybody's got a pretty friend

the words they buy

the time they spend

goodnight



when her friend's around

she disappears

amid the broken stems

and tears



everybody's got a pretty friend

the words they buy

the time they spend

goodnight



it's a bitter pill

and it's hard to swallow

she could take the lead

but she never follows



the bed of roses

turn to nails

the best laid plans

always fail



everybody's got a pretty friend

the words they buy

the time they spend

goodnight

goodnight

da-la-la-la-la
