Your rebel soul and your heroin
The black blue blood just beneath your skin
Don't ask me how I know you so well, I just do
And where you want to go, I can't follow you
'Coz you traded your soul for one black rose that became your heart
Now you're a cut flower, your time is marked
All for the love of a black guitar

I've watched you sing, go far away somewhere
To a place where you no longer have to care
To a place where nothing matters, where nothing hurts
To a place that doesn't exist on this earth
Yeah, you've traded your soul for one black rose
That became your heart
Now you're a cut flower, your time is marked
All for the love of a black guitar

It gets you through that time of night
When all you've lost weighs heavy on your soul
It gives you a place to go
When there is no place for you to go
And after you I will never be
The same person I was before
'Coz you traded your soul for one black rose
That became your heart
Now you're a cut flower your time is marked
All for the love of a black guitar
All for the love of a black guitar
