(Nothing But) Flowers (Live)

Here we stand, like an Adam and an Eve
Waterfalls, like 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, now there'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
And 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, only fields and trees
Where, where is the town
Now, 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've got it, you've 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

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've got it, you've got it
Don't leave me stranded here, i can't get used to this lifestyle
