Lyrics The Magnetic Fields

The Magnetic Fields

The Flowers She Sent and the Flowers She Said She Sent

I saw you standing at the airport

With your chihuahua in your hand

Crying on the moving sidewalk

On your way to Disneyland

And the flowers she sent and the flowers she said she sent

Are all equally dead

You don't care anymore, she said

And the books she read and the books that she said she read

Are all spread on the floor

You don't care about them anymore

I saw you closing your antique shop

With a boa 'round your throat

And you tremble like an ostrich

In your ostrich feather coat

And the flowers she sent and the flowers she said she sent

Are all equally dead

You don't care anymore, she said

And the books she read and the books that she said she read

Are all spread on the floor

You don't care about them anymore
