I've been drinking my health down
Day in and night out downtown
Here where the tears fall in the beers
'cause they rhyme so nice in waltz time
the beers and the tears and fears
of dying high and dry
Oh kick me again
It's all between friends and
We can leave the door ajar
At Rosemary's bar
The Rose, the Rose, is always open
The Rose, the Rose, never closes
I've been writing a lot of long long
He-done-me-wrong songs
I feel like beating someone up tonight
but I wouldn't beat up on you
'cause you'd win
and I'm not crazy
Don't crowd me tonight
I'm a sore sight in your eyes
I'm forever losing face
At Rosemary's place
The Rose, the Rose, is always open
The Rose, the Rose, never closes
Going broke and broken hearted
Don't know how these things get started
You told me to stop, and I stopped
but you kept on going and I'm warning you
if you don't stop
I'm gonna start up again
Oh, at least we're not bored
Is there anything more
We always eat the paint
Off Rosemary's floor
The Rose, the Rose, is always open
The Rose, the Rose, never closes
The Rose, the Rose, is always open
The Rose, the Rose, never closes
The Rose, the Rose, is always open
The Rose, the Rose, never closes
