Nothing but Flowers
Par David Byrne
Album : NDR Accoustic

Thank you

Here we stand

Like an Adam and Eve

Waterfalls

The Garden of Eden

Two fools in love

So beautiful and strong

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, now there's nothing but flowers

There was a factory

Now there are mountains and rivers

You've got it, you've got it

We caught a rattlesnake

Now we've got something for dinner

You've got it, you've got it

There was a shopping mall

Now it's all covered with flowers

You've got it, you've got it

If this is paradise

I wish I had a lawn mower

You've got it, you'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 the beautiful highway

This used to be real estate, now it's only fields and trees

Where? Where is the town?

Now, now there'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've got it, you've got it

This was a Pizza Hut

Now it's all covered with daisies

You've got it, you've got it

I miss the honky tonks

Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens

You've got it, you've got it

And as things fell apart

Nobody paid much attention

You've got it, you've got it

I dream of cherry pies

Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies

You've got it, you've got it

We used to microwave

Now we just eat nuts and berries

You've got it, you've got it

This was a discount store

Now it's turned into a cornfield

You've got it, you've got it

Don't leave me stranded here

I can't get used to this lifestyle

Thanks you

The song was originally, ah, had to work with Selena

But Santa Selena she's not here
