I'm falling in love with her 8 track mind, with plenty good reason to be so kind
Her favorite nightclub has a jukebox full of hits from the past
She's not into emo or screamo or jazz, but she can do Shakespeare like nobody has
Is this what they call edu-tainment to the highest degree?
Now she's crying I touched a nerve, we might be chalking it up to absurd
Cause when the truth is spilled, it starts to flow.
I love you baby don't pay the bills, when I don't bring home the biggest kill
Her self-indulgent silent treatment goes, with Wine and Roses I suppose

Always the rebel, that's sure fine by me, dancing and prancing with strange company
Yet keeping it wholesome like a chaperon is standing nearby.
All in my mix and then make way for pout, nothing is lacking but the jokes have run out
Sorry babe but I have planes to catch, I'll carry on in the spring
Now she's sighing by fireside, contemplating just what feels right
Staving off this twisted world she knows
She's playing freedom, her only card, gone in a cinch and an inch, take a yard
Deep into her fantasy she goes with wine and roses I suppose
(solo)

Back at her hotel the industry's told, brainy calypso has taken her hold
Hired for TV but the radio's forgotten her name
Smiles I frown on, we're keeping it light, taking her LP so some brand new height
Sorry babe but I have dreams to catch let's say we call this a fling
There's something sacred about her tongue, she's probably singing what ain't been sung
While taking out that diamond from her nose
In case she's bored now I'll syncopate, and move the project to some new state
Either way the mystery is closed, with wine and roses I suppose
