Talking Heads - Flowers lyrics
Your rating:
Here we stand Like an adam and an eve Waterfalls The garden of eden Two fools in love So beautiful and strong The birds in the trees Are smiling upon them From the age of the dinosaurs Cars have run on gasoline Wherewhere have they gone? Nowit's nothing but flowers There was a factory Now there are mountains and rivers You got ityou got it We caught a rattlesnake Now we got something for dinner We got itwe got it There was a shopping mall Now it's all covered with flowers You've got ityou've got it If this is paradise I wish I had a lawnmower You've got ityou've got it Years ago I was an angry young man I'd pretend That I was a billboard Standing tall By the side of the road I fell in love With a beautiful highway This used to be real estate Now it's only fields and trees Wherewhere is the town Nowit's nothing but flowers The highways and cars Were sacrificed for agriculture I thought that we'd start over But I guess I was wrong Once there were parking lots Now it's a peaceful oasis You got ityou got it This was a pizza hut Now it's all covered with daisies You got ityou got it I miss the honky tonks Dairy queensand 7-elevens You got ityou got it And as things fell apart Nobody paid much attention You got ityou got it I dream of cherry pies Candy barsand chocolate chip cookies You got ityou got it We used to microwave Now we just eat nuts and berries You got ityou got it This was a discount store Now it's turned into a cornfield You got ityou got it Don't leave me stranded here I can't get used to this lifestyle
