Talking Heads - (Nothing But) Flowers Lyrics
Here we standLike an Adam and an EveWaterfallsThe Garden of EdenTwo fools in loveSo beautiful and strongThe birds in the treesAre smiling upon themFrom the age of the dinosaursCars have run on gasolineWhere, where have they gone?Now, it's nothing but flowersThere was a factoryNow there are mountains and riversyou got it, you got itWe caught a rattlesnakeNow we got something for dinnerwe got it, we got itThere was a shopping mallNow it's all covered with flowersyou've got it, you've got itIf this is paradiseI wish I had a lawnmoweryou've got it, you've got itYears agoI was an angry young manI'd pretendThat I was a billboardStanding tallBy the side of the roadI fell in loveWith a beautiful highwayThis used to be real estateNow it's only fields and treesWhere, where is the townNow, it's nothing but flowersThe highways and carsWere sacrificed for agricultureI thought that we'd start overBut I guess I was wrongOnce there were parking lotsNow it's a peaceful oasisyou got it, you got itThis was a Pizza HutNow it's all covered with daisiesyou got it, you got itI miss the honky tonks,Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevensyou got it, you got itAnd as things fell apartNobody paid much attentionyou got it, you got itI dream of cherry pies,Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookiesyou got it, you got itWe used to microwaveNow we just eat nuts and berriesyou got it, you got itThis was a discount store,Now it's turned into a cornfieldyou got it, you got itDon't leave me stranded hereI can't get used to this lifestyle
