lyrics

Well she played cat's cradle
Where we met in the casino
And I won three dead roses
For the saddest song
But I cut off her bracelet
And tied the three roses tight
To leave in the classroom
Where we had our first night

And it's strange that ever since
I haven't spent a night alone
And it's strange that ever since
I wake without hate for the dawn

Now I've stopped craving sweets
I've stopped craving cigarettes
And I'm saving my loving
For one who wants it best
Yeah I cut off her bracelet
And laid those roses to rest
And with these visions of Johanna
I'm much less impressed

And it's strange that ever since
I haven't spent a night alone
And it's strange that ever since
I wake without hate for the dawn
