(Nothing But) Flowers

Here we stand

Like Adam and an Eve

Waterfall

Garden of Eden

Two fools in love

So beautiful and strong

The birds in the trees

Are smiling upon them

Since 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've got something for dinner

You got it, you got it

This was a shopping mall,

Now it's all covered with flowers

You got it, you got it

If this is paradise,

I wish I had a lawnmower

You got it, you got it

Years ago

I was an angrier man

I pretend

I was a billboard

Standing tall

By the side of the road

I fell in love

With the 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 highway's cars

All sacrificed for agriculture

Guess we 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 in daisies

You got it, you got it

I miss the "Honky-Tonks"

Dairy Queens and 7-11s

You got it, you got it

And as these fell apart,

Nobody gave 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 standing here,

I can't get used to this lifestyle
