Rosebud Lyrics

It’s a first attempt so I doubt it’s 100% correct…

Rosebud is a dying word
A world so ugly I built my own
Like most things, I never finished
It flickers and it glistens

Black light gives a sense of peace
No trespassing over a man’s life
So pick the petals I poured out and put them together
Don’t ask me how

Maybe I lost a rosebud along the way
Lost a rosebud some time today
Even after I have told you all my name
I think I lost a rosebud some time today
I think I lost a rosebud

The days that we have seen
Aren’t the way we should have been
Contempt is a glimpse of the past
A lifelong obsession with chance

Black light gives a sense of peace
No trespassing over a man’s life
So pick the petals I poured out and put them together
Don’t ask me how

Maybe I lost a rosebud along the way
Lost a rosebud some time today
Even after I have told you all my name
I think I lost a rosebud some time today
I think I lost a rosebud

That looks pretty close to me Richey, except maybe(?) minor differences in these lines:

For ‘So pick the petals I poured out and put them together’

I hear ‘So pick the petals apart now put them together’

For ‘Even after I have told you all my name’

I think it’s ’Even after all, I told you all my name

And for ‘Aren’t the way we should have been’

I hear ‘Are the way we should have been’

Directly from the end of the music video:

ROSEBUD IS A DYING WORLD
A WORLD SO UGLY I BUILT MY OWN
LIKE SO MANY THINGS I NEVER FINISHED
IT FLICKERS AND IT GLISTENS

BLACK LIGHT GIVES A SENSE OF PEACE
NO TRESPASSING OVER A MANS LIFE
SO PICK THE PETALS APART NOW PUT THEM TOGETHER
DON'T ASK ME HOW

MAYBE I LOST A ROSEBUD ALONG THE WAY
LOST A ROSEBUD SOMETIME TODAY
EVEN AFTER ALL I TELL YOU ALL MY NAME
I THINK I LOST A ROSEBUD SOMETIME TODAY
I THINK I LOST A ROSEBUD

THE DAYS THAT WE HAVE SEEN
ARE THE WAY WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN
CONTEMPT IS A
GLIMPSE OF THE PAST
A LIFELONG OBSESSION WITH CHANCE

Yes me too. And the last “ even after all” his voice is sublime. It has that old James growl we don’t get to hear anymore.
I really don’t know why this song has grabbed me like it has, maybe I myself am looking back at a younger man.

Disk beginning to rotate, faster, becoming a sphere of paler gray. Expanding -

Inner eye opening to the stepped scarlet pyramid of the Eastern Seaboard Fission Authority burning beyond the green cubes of Mitsubishi Bank of America,
and high and very far away he saw the spiral arms of military systems, forever beyond his reach.
And somewhere he was laughing, in a white-painted loft, distant fingers caressing the deck, tears of release streaking his face.
