Green Flowers, Blue Fish

You gave me the keys, but not to your home

The porcelain locks, they just wouldn't hold

Against my shoulder, against the cold

They gave right in and went on in

You put on your helmet, just to breathe

You put on your shoes, but you did not leave

You made you mind up and took it all back

You flew your plane home with the boxes you packed

You filled your vase full but the flowers all died

You painted them green but the paint would not dry

You linked up a list of thinks not to say

I put in the tape and began to play

You made your mind up but the thoughts came unstacked

You flew your plane home, but I flew it back

You filled the lake full, but the fish they all died

You painted them blue, but the paint would not dry

You filled your vase full but the flowers all died

You painted them too, but the paint would not dry
