Flower

Turn the ugly light off, God

Wanna feel the night

Every day it shines down on me

Don't you think that I see

Don't you think that I see

What it's all about



Hard to look the other way

While the world passes me by

And everyone is trying to bum me out



It's a pretty big world, God

And I am awful small

Every day they rain down on me

Flower in a hailstorm

Flower in a hailstorm

I'm livin' for the drought



I could throw it back at them

But then I'd play their game

Everyone is trying to bum me out



When I came into this world they slapped me

And every day since then I'm slapped again

Tomorrow's king, an unsightly coward

You see, I know I'm gonna win



Turn the ugly light off, God

Don't wanna see my face

Every day it will betray me

Don't you think that I know

Don't you think that I know

What they're talking about



If they step on me tonight

they're gonna pay someday

Everyone is trying to bum me out



Mmmmmmmm

Mmmmmmmmmmm
