Automatic Flowers

Our Lady Peace · Clumsy [1997]

And Sara thinks she's died here once before

She's crazy

A pop-up book, of flowers from grade 4

Are driving her insane

No one knows why

She's sad tonight

No one can help her find



Crying crying, she couldn't afford the view

Crying crying, these automatic flowers won't do



Another brick

Another window frames confusion

Her garden blooms

But Sarah can't see straight

She's drinking herself blind



No one knows why

She stands outside

No one can help her find



Crying crying, she couldn't afford the view

Crying crying, these automatic flowers won't do



She never admitted

She never considered

That she always means better

She's wasting all her time



Crying crying, she couldn't afford the view

Crying crying, these automatic flowers won't do

These automatic flowers won't do

Flowers won't do
