In these days of wild roses
I held a compass in my hand
I had three wishes for a future
That I wont need to understand
And Ive got holly green on blood red
Manhattan christmas on my arm
My soul aint worth saving
Feels like Ive lost my lucky charm
And Ive been living in the gutter
Ive been loaded like a gun
Ive been sliding down the mountain
And it feels like kingdom come
And Im always fighting windmills
Have to take it as it comes
See im
Im encircled
I am
If you want me tell me
Cause I cant play this game much longer
Feels a lot like oblivion
This feeling just keeps getting stronger
And Ive been living in the gutter
Without american express
Heroes changing horses midstream
Im detached
Im second-guessed
Wont you please come back and get me
My whole world is in a mess
See im
Im encircled
This time I am
Im encircled
In these days of wild roses
Im encircled
Yeah
And Ive been living in the gutter
Ive been loaded like a gun
Ive been sliding down the mountain
And it feels like kingdom come
And Im always fighting windmills
Have to take it as it comes
See Im encircled
This time I am
Im encircled
I am
In these days of wild roses
