Roy’s Tune Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The breeze in the night time would kill you stone dead
It was the message I heard when the company said
"There is no warning and there is no future"
I like the way they treat me but I hate the way they use her
I hate the way they use her

[Chorus]
I never really read
I spent the day in bed
And my hair was red
And my eyes weren't dead
I was a cool cool kid on the curbstone scene
And the lights in my eyes they were evergreen
Like you never seen

[Verse 2]
The breeze in the night time would kill you stone dead
It was the message I heard when the company said
"There is no warning and there is no future"
I like the way they treat me but I hate the way they use her
I hate the way they use

[Chorus]
Well, I never really read
I spent the day in bed
And my hair was red
And my eyes weren't dead
I was a cool cool kid on the curbstone scene
And the lights in my eyes they were evergreen
Just like you've never seen before

Get tickets as low as $32

[Verse 3]
They said the breeze in the night time would kill you stone dead
It was the message I heard when the company said
"There is no warning, there's no future"
I like the way they treat me but I hate the way they use her
I hate the way they use

[Outro]
Hey love
Hey love
Are you hanging on?
Hey love
Hey love
Are you hanging on?
Are you hanging on?
