Clerks II movie - (Nothing But) Flowers lyrics

rate me

Song by Talking Heads<br /><br>

Here we stand<br>

Like an Adam and an Eve<br>

Waterfalls<br>

The Garden of Eden<br>

Two fools in love<br>

So beautiful and strong<br>

The birds in the trees<br>

Are smiling upon them<br>

From the age of the dinosaurs<br>

Cars have run on gasoline<br>

Where, where have they gone?<br>

Now, it's nothing but flowers<br>

<br>

There was a factory<br>

Now there are mountains and rivers<br>

you got it, you got it<br>

<br>

We caught a rattlesnake<br>

Now we got something for dinner<br>

we got it, we got it<br>

<br>

There was a shopping mall<br>

Now it's all covered with flowers<br>

you've got it, you've got it<br>

<br>

If this is paradise<br>

I wish I had a lawnmower<br>

you've got it, you've got it<br>

<br>

Years ago<br>

I was an angry young man<br>

I'd pretend<br>

That I was a billboard<br>

Standing tall<br>

By the side of the road<br>

I fell in love<br>

With a beautiful highway<br>

This used to be real estate<br>

Now it's only fields and trees<br>

Where, where is the town<br>

Now, it's nothing but flowers<br>

The highways and cars<br>

Were sacrificed for agriculture<br>

I thought that we'd start over<br>

But I guess I was wrong<br>

<br>

Once there were parking lots<br>

Now it's a peaceful oasis<br>

you got it, you got it<br>

<br>

This was a Pizza Hut<br>

Now it's all covered with daisies<br>

you got it, you got it<br>

<br>

I miss the honky tonks,<br>

Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens<br>

you got it, you got it<br>

<br>

And as things fell apart<br>

Nobody paid much attention<br>

you got it, you got it<br>

<br>

I dream of cherry pies,<br>

Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies<br>

you got it, you got it<br>

<br>

We used to microwave<br>

Now we just eat nuts and berries<br>

you got it, you got it<br>

<br>

This was a discount store,<br>

Now it's turned into a cornfield<br>

you got it, you got it<br>

<br>

Don't leave me stranded here<br>

I can't get used to this lifestyle<br>
