Flowers — текст песни (Talking Heads)

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, its 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 its all covered with flowers

Youve got it, youve got it



If this is paradise

I wish I had a lawnmower

Youve got it, youve got it



Years ago

I was an angry young man

Id 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 its only fields and trees

Where, where is the town

Now, its nothing but flowers

The highways and cars

Were sacrificed for agriculture

I thought that wed start over

But I guess I was wrong



Once there were parking lots

Now its a peaceful oasis

You got it, you got it



This was a pizza hut

Now its 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 its turned into a cornfield

You got it, you got it



Dont leave me stranded here

I cant get used to this lifestyle
