(Nothing But) Flowers


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
