The Lyrics:
1.
Gilded flowers
Long-lost hours
2.
All of the wild storms which cause the flowering buds to burst
3.
The flowers down the side of the house this morning
The tiny wheels within the whirl
4.
I wanna devour
I wanna suck up your power
I wanna smell all the flowers
I wanna use up my useless hours
5.
Talking to the dying flowers
Dwarfed by spires and tangled towers
6.
Man stalls, he flowers
7.
Beside the wall the flowers grow
And down the sticky stems I go
8.
Walking down the street, I'm walking down the street
People drift by and they dance a certain beat
I'm walking towards you with flower in my hand
One of these days you're gonna understand
9.
Mother send no flowers for my passing
Surely life is just one long lampoon
10.
The gardens choke with bursting blooms
Weddings frozen melted grooms
Chasing you through endless rooms
11.
You want to take away the pain
And go out walkin' in the rain
You watch the flowers go to bed
Ask the man inside your head
12.
The fountains gush wine
The chimneys spurt flowers
13.
Somehow we drifted off too far
Communicate like distant stars
Splintered voices down the phone
The sunlit dust, the smell of roses drifts, oh no
14.
Pretty things all in a row
Flowers who can't seem to grow
15.
A carnation in your buttonhole
Greed inside your veins
Smooth threats and promises
Hotel rooms and chains
16.
Water all my orchids, save my dynasty
I said I'm never, never coming back again
17.
Fading flowers in her hair
She's suffering from wear and tear
She lies in waterfalls of dreams
And doesn't question what it means, Marlene
18.
