Rose - Lyrics - Fifty Foot Hose
Fifty Foot Hose is an American psychedelic rock band that formed in San Francisco in the late 1960s, and reformed in the 1990s. They were one of the first bands to fuse rock and experimental music. Like a few other acts of the time , they consciously tried to combine the contemporary sounds of rock with electronic instruments and avant-garde compositional ideas.

Set in plastic for all to see
but not so drastic as it should be
and even though it lay exposed
no one may ever
no one may ever
no one may ever, smell the rose
Ooh wah wah wah wah
Ooh wah wah wah wah
Set in bodies of glass and steel
You may envision but cannot feel
And in the tank it looks exposed
no one may ever
no one may ever
no one may ever, smell the rose
Hiding, from your senses
At least, the ones that count
Hiding, to protect you
As *** and desire
I lay exposed
In one sense
Your mind rejects the rest
From a draining may not be the best
Under filters of polar glass
It may not glitter but let it pass
and even though it lay exposed
no one may ever
no one may ever
no one may ever, smell the rose
