Talking Heads - [Nothing But] Flowers lyrics

Here we stand
Like an Adam & an Eve
Waterfalls
The Garden of Eden
Two fools in love
So beautiful & strong
The birds in the trees
Are smiling upon them
From the age of the dinosaurs
Cars have run on gasoline
Where, where have they gone?
Now, it isn´thing but flowers

There was a factory
Now there are mountains & rivers
you got it, you got it

We caught a rattlesnake
Now we got smth for dinner
we got it, we got it

There was a shopping mall
Now it is all covered with flowers
you have got it, you have got it

If this is paradise
I wish I had a lawnmower
you have got it, you have got it

Yeahrs ago
I was an angry young man
I would 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 is only fields & trees
Where, where´s the town
Now, it isn´thing but flowers
The highways & cars
Were sacrificed for agriculture
I thought that we would start over
But I guess I was wrong

Once there were parking lots
Now it is a peaceful oasis
you got it, you got it

This was a Pizza Hut
Now it is all covered with daisies
you got it, you got it

I miss the honky tonks,
Dairy Queens, & 7-Elevens
you got it, you got it

And as things fell apart
Nobody paid much attention
you got it, you got it

I dream of cherry pies,
Candy bars, & chocolate chip cookies
you got it, you got it

We used to microwave
Now we just eat nuts & berries
you got it, you got it

This was a discount store,
Now it is turned into a cornfield
you got it, you got it

Don´t leave me stranded here
I cannot get used to this lifestyle
