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 Like dead flowers, dead flowers
