(nothing But) Flowers (talking Heads Cover) Lyrics

Here we stand 

Like an Adam and an Eve 

Waterfalls 

The Garden of Eden 

Two fools in love 

So beautiful and 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's nothing but flowers 



There was a factory 

Now there are mountains and rivers 

you got it, you got it 



We caught a rattlesnake 

Now we got something for dinner 

we got it, we 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 lawnmower 

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 a beautiful highway 

This used to be real estate 

Now it's only fields and trees 

Where, where is the town 

Now, it'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 got it, you got it 



This was a Pizza Hut 

Now it's all covered with daisies 

you got it, you got it 



I miss the honky tonks, 

Dairy Queens, and 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, and chocolate chip cookies 

you got it, you got it 



We used to microwave 

Now we just eat nuts and berries 

you got it, you got it 



This was a discount store, 

Now it's turned into a cornfield 

you got it, you got it 



Don't leave me stranded here 

I can't get used to this lifestyle
