Come, bring roses
Or run, it makes more sense
I keep on standing, not afraid
Sometimes I lie down, wide awake
As lucky perfects pass me by
They turn their eyes another way
The sight and smell won't make them stay
These lucky perfects pass me by

My mistakes are mine as they've always been
Some are justified, most of them are sins!

My mistakes are mine as they've always been
Some are justified, most of them are sins!
They're just my sins

Come, bring pleasures
Alone or with your friends
A stick of gum, a dime, I pray
Can I resist another day?
As lucky perfects pass me by

My mistakes are mine as they've always been
Some are justified, most of them are sins!

My mistakes are mine as they've always been
Some I try to fight, most are here to stay
They're just my sins
