Rose of Jericho

One, two A long time ago, in a desert so dry A simple life form adapting just to survive A living fossil, with no roots to unwind A holy roller, open wings to the sky A flash of lightning, before the thunder cracked Set trees a-burning, but not the dinosaur plant 'Cause she's a tumbler who can bury her tracks A resurrection, she keeps coming back The winds, they blow Spread the seeds, the rose of Jericho Forests fall By hands of man, like dominoes Touch and go Two outta three, Rochambeau The rock that you throw Can't beat the rose of Jericho Can't beat the rose of Jericho Shot Stuck at a bus stop, reading H. D. Thoreau The smell of asphalt makes it hard to swallow Another heatwave, becoming all that we know We should've listened to the voice of the rose The winds, they blow Spread the seeds, the rose of Jericho Forests fall By hands of man like dominoes Touch and go Two outta three, Rochambeau The rock that you throw Can't beat the rose of Jericho Can't beat the rose of Jericho Can't drown the rose of Jericho Can't beat the rose of Jericho Can't kill the rose of Jericho The lesson here is Econo, yeah The winds, they blow The winds, they blow The winds, they blow Oh, spread the seeds Seeds of the rose Oh, spread the seeds The winds, they blow
