I feel like the flowers in this vase He just brought 'em home one day, "Ain't they beautiful?" he said They been here in the kitchen and the waters turnin' gray They're sittin' in the vase but now they're dead, dead flowers
I feel like this long string of lights They lit up our whole house on Christmas Day But now it's January and the bulbs are all burned out But still they hang like dead flowers
He ain't feelin' anythin' My love, my hurt or the sting of this rain I'm livin' in a hurricane All he can say is, 'Man ain't it such a nice day?' Yeah, yeah
I feel like the tires on this car You said they won't go far but we're still rollin' I look in the rear view and I see dead flowers in the yard And that string of lights and it ain't glowin' Like dead flowers, like dead flowers
He ain't feelin' anythin' My love, my hurt or the sting of this rain I'm drivin' through a hurricane All he can say is, "Man ain't it such a nice day?" Hey, hey, I guess we'll just go to waste Like dead flowers
