Karaoké (Nothing But) Flowers Talking Heads

Here we stand like an Adam and Eve

Waterfalls

Garden of Eden

Two fools in love

So beautiful and strong

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've got it

You've got it

We caught a rattlesnake

Now we've got something for dinner

You've got it

You've 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 lawn mower

You've got it

You've got it

Years ago

I was an angry young man and I'd pretend that 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 highways and cars were sacrificed for agriculture

I thought that we'd start over but I guess I was wrong

Hey

Once there were parking lots now it's a peaceful oasis

You've got it

You've got it

This was a Pizza Hut

Now it's all covered with daises

You've got it

You've got it

I miss the honky tonks

Dairy Queens and Seven-Elevens

You've got it

You've got it

And as things fell apart nobody paid much attention

You've got it

You've got it

I dream of cherry pies

Candy bars and chocolate chip cookies

You've got it

You've got it

We used to microwave now we just eat nuts and berries

You've got it

You've got it

This was a discount store now it's turned into a cornfield

You've got it

You've got it

Don't leave me stranded here

I can't get used to this lifestyle
