Rose Tint My World
Tim curry and the roxy cast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was great when it all began
I was a regular Frankie fan
But it was over when he had the plan
To start working on a muscle man
Now the only thing that gives me hope
Is my love of a certain dope
Rose tints my world
Keeps me safe from my trouble and pain

I'm just seven hours old
Truly beautiful to behold
And somebody should be told
My libido hasn't been controlled
Now the only thing I've come to trust
Is an orgasmic rush of lust
Rose tints my world
And keeps me safe from my trouble and pain

It's beyond me
Help me, mommy

I'll be good, you'll see
Take this dream away
What this, let's see
I feel sexy
What's come over me?
Woo, here it comes again

I feel released
Bad times deceased
My confidence has increased
Reality is here
The game has been disbanded
My mind has been expanded
It's a gas that Frankie's landed
His lust is so sincere

Whatever happened to Fay Wray?
That delicate satin draped frame
As it clung to her thigh, how I started to cry
'Cause I wanted to be dressed just the same

Give yourself over to absolute pleasure
Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh
Erotic nightmares beyond any measure
And sensual daydreams to treasure forever
Can't you just see it? oh oh oh

Don't dream it, be it
Don't dream it, be it
Don't dream it, be it
Don't dream it, be it
Don't dream it, be it
Don't dream it, be it

Ach, we've got to get out of this trap (don't dream it, be it)
Before this decadence saps our will (don't dream it, be it)
I've got to be strong and try to hang on (don't dream it, be it)
Or else my mind may well snap (don't dream it, be it)
Und my life will be lived for the thrills (don't dream it, be it)

It's beyond me, help me mommy (don't dream it, be it)

God bless Lili St. Cyr

My my my, my my my my my, my my my my
I'm a wild and untamed thing
I'm a bee with a deadly sting
You get a hit and your mind goes ping
Your heart will pump and your blood will sing
So let the party and the sound rock on
We're gonna shake it 'til the life has gone
Rose tints my world keeps me safe from my trouble and pain

We are wild and untamed things
We're a bee with a deadly sting
You get a hit and your mind goes ping
Your heart will pump and your blood will sing
So let the party and the sound rock on
We're gonna shake it 'til the life has gone
Rose tints my world keeps me safe from my trouble and pain

We are wild and untamed things
We're a bee with a deadly sting
You get a hit and your mind goes ping
Your heart will pump and your blood will sing
So let the party and the sound rock on
We're gonna shake it 'til the life has gone, gone, gone, gone
Rose tints my world keeps me safe from my trouble and pain

Frankenfurter it's all over
Your mission is a failure, your lifestyle's too extreme




I'm your new commander, you now are my prisoner
We return to Transylvania, prepare the transit beam
