(Nothing But) Flowers Lyrics
[00:43.99] Here we stand
[00:47.72] Like an Adam and an Eve
[00:52.68] Waterfalls
[00:56.15] The Garden of Eden
[01:00.42] Two fools in love
[01:03.81] So beautiful and strong
[01:08.52] The birds in the trees
[01:12.39] Are smiling upon them
[01:17.27] From the age of the dinosaurs
[01:18.95] Cars have run on gasoline
[01:22.74] Where, where have they gone?
[01:27.31] Now, it's nothing but flowers
[01:31.75] There was a factory
[01:33.70] Now, there are mountains and rivers
[01:37.88] You got it, you got it
[01:39.86] We caught a rattlesnake
[01:41.68] Now, we got something for dinner
[01:45.74] We got it, we got it
[01:47.88] There was a shopping mall
[01:49.82] Now, it's all covered with flowers
[01:53.95] You've got it, you've got it
[01:55.86] If this is paradise
[01:57.91] I wish I had a lawnmower
[02:01.95] You've got it, you've got it
[02:06.02]
[02:12.75] Years ago
[02:15.93] I was an angry young man
[02:20.69] I'd pretend
[02:24.64] That I was a billboard
[02:28.59] Standing tall
[02:32.22] By the side of the road
[02:36.64] I fell in love
[02:40.08] With a beautiful highway
[02:43.95] This used to be real estate
[02:46.83] Now, it's only fields and trees
[02:51.73] Where, where is the town?
[02:55.68] Now, it's nothing but flowers
[03:00.05] The highways and cars
[03:03.85] Were sacrificed for agriculture
[03:08.47] I thought that we'd start over
[03:12.12] But I guess I was wrong, hey
[03:16.31] Once there were parking lots
[03:18.31] Now, it's a peaceful oasis
[03:21.74] You got it, you got it
[03:24.06] This was a Pizza Hut
[03:25.82] Now, it's all covered with daisies
[03:30.02] You got it, you got it
[03:31.83] I miss the honky tonks
[03:33.91] Dairy Queens and Seven-Elevens
[03:37.87] You got it, you got it
[03:39.82] And as things fell apart
[03:41.83] Nobody paid much attention
[03:46.03] You got it, you got it
[03:49.22]
[05:00.38] I dream of cherry pies
[05:01.76] Candy bars and chocolate chip cookies
[05:04.49] You got it, you got it
[05:06.84] We used to microwave
[05:08.89] Now, we just eat nuts and berries
[05:12.18] You got it, you got it
[05:14.78] This was a discount store
[05:16.78] Now, it's turned into a cornfield
[05:20.51] You got it, you got it
[05:22.93] Don't leave me stranded here
[05:24.67] I can't get used to this lifestyle
[05:28.60]
[00:47.72] Like an Adam and an Eve
[00:52.68] Waterfalls
[00:56.15] The Garden of Eden
