Flowers Drink upon the Ground
Ben Christophers
Flowers drink upon the ground,
in the story of nature
Queer as folk they think there's gold
in those rugged streams
But it's been dry for years
And they sway like empty clothes,
in soulless avenues
And they wind on like the roads
until the rains became their eyes
The boy who belonged to no one else
but himself
And those darling beasts became your friend
So bless the girl who took me away
It's those diamond eyes, it's all I could take
She smokes a smile like nothing I've seen
Makes the wind wind over all the dark days
Blow down the secret ship of despair
for all to find a place to believe in
Everyone's missing someone
Everyone's missing something
And still I don't know why a bee stings and dies
and yet it's wasps I hate,
Why does money matter so,
and people look for UFO's
The books are dying from disbelief,
they are the poses at the road side
Love is sabotage you tasted blood
you had it coming for years, and years
And you sway like empty clothes,
in soulless avenues
And it winds on like the roads
until the rains become their eyes,
for all of time
Lord I've been foolish forgive me
Lord I fucked up forgive me, forgive me
Lord I've been foolish forgive me
