Song | (Nothing But) Flowers |
Artist | Talking Heads |
Album | Naked |
[00:45.78] | Here we stand |
[00:48.89] | Like an Adam and an Eve |
[00:53.30] | Waterfalls |
[00:56.62] | The Garden of Eden |
[01:01.14] | Two fools in love |
[01:04.70] | So beautiful and strong |
[01:09.22] | The birds in the trees |
[01:12.57] | Are smiling upon them |
[01:16.84] | From the age of the dinosaurs |
[01:20.10] | Cars have run on gasoline |
[01:24.17] | Where, where have they gone? |
[01:28.18] | Now, it's nothing but flowers |
[01:32.69] | There was a factory |
[01:34.35] | Now there are mountains and rivers |
[01:38.76] | You got it, you got it |
[01:40.41] | We caught a rattlesnake |
[01:42.37] | Now we got something for dinner |
[01:46.83] | We got it, we got it |
[01:48.35] | There was a shopping mall |
[01:50.35] | Now it's all covered with flowers |
[01:54.75] | You’ve got it, you’ve got it |
[01:56.71] | If this is paradise |
[01:58.62] | I wish I had a lawnmower |
[02:02.57] | You’ve got it, you’ve got it |
[02:04.38] | |
[02:13.16] | Years ago |
[02:16.57] | I was an angry young man |
[02:20.25] | I'd pretend |
[02:24.36] | That I was a billboard |
[02:28.68] | Standing tall |
[02:32.59] | By the side of the road |
[02:36.19] | I fell in love |
[02:39.70] | With a beautiful highway |
[02:44.51] | This used to be real estate |
[02:47.83] | Now it's only fields and trees |
[02:52.10] | Where, where is the town |
[02:55.86] | Now, it's nothing but flowers |
[03:00.33] | The highways and cars |
[03:03.64] | Were sacrificed for agriculture |
[03:08.41] | I thought that we'd start over |
[03:12.16] | But I guess I was wrong |
[03:14.98] | Once there were parking lots |
[03:17.89] | Now it's a peaceful oasis |
[03:22.26] | You got it, you got it |
[03:24.03] | This was a Pizza Hut |
[03:25.83] | Now it's all covered with daisies |
[03:30.75] | You got it, you got it |
[03:31.81] | I miss the honky tonks, |
[03:33.71] | Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens |
[03:38.37] | You got it, you got it |
[03:39.62] | And as things fell apart |
[03:41.63] | Nobody paid much attention |
[03:46.09] | You got it, you got it |
[03:47.95] | |
[05:00.34] | I dream of cherry pies, |
[05:02.00] | Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies |
[05:06.37] | You got it, you got it |
[05:07.82] | We used to microwave |
[05:09.68] | Now we just eat nuts and berries |
[05:14.00] | You got it, you got it |
[05:15.71] | This was a discount store, |
[05:17.92] | Now it's turned into a cornfield |
[05:21.04] | You got it, you got it |
[05:23.70] | Don't leave me stranded here |
[05:25.66] | I can't get used to this lifestyle |
[05:30.63] |
[00:45.78] | Here we stand |
