(Nothing But) Flowers - Talking Heads

Street cleaners Waking me Flu infected city Prostitutes of sleep Pummeled brain Late L train Manhattan rain Terrible shame Stop all the clocks in my brain Clog all the veins and the drains Build a coffin around this house Dismantle the sun from the couch First Ave stop Fear of fate Live forever No escape Human sound City voice Weighing down Sickening noise Stop all the clocks in my brain Clog all the veins and the drains Build a coffin around this house Dismantle the sun from the couch Lost in a dream, but it wasn't oh well Shook outta heaven, fell into hell Stop all the clocks in my brain Clog all the veins in the drains Build a coffin around this house Dismantle the sun from the couch

I was buried beneath my rebellion Lost without hope of redemption Blind in my need for a Savior Oh but God Crushed by the weight of my failure Living the lie I created Digging my grave without knowing Oh but God oh but God Rich in mercy how You loved me Too much to let me stay lost My salvation sent from heaven Nailing my sin to a cross Oh but God You gave me a truth worth believing And I traded my chains for Your freedom Cause You were the one that I needed Oh but God Resurrecting my heart from the ruins My rescue came through like the morning Now this is my sure testimony Oh but God oh but God Rich in mercy how You loved me Too much to let me stay lost My salvation sent from heaven Nailing my sin to a cross Oh but God All the wreckage of my choices You have turned to life from ashes Lifted from death risen with Him Now I stand in confidence All the wreckage of my choices You have turned to life from ashes Lifted from death risen with Him Now I stand in confidence Rich in mercy how You loved me Too much to let me stay lost My salvation sent from heaven Nailing my sin to a cross Oh Rich in mercy how You loved me Too much to let me stay lost My salvation sent from heaven Nailing my sin to a cross Oh but God Oh but God Oh but God Oh but God

I saw her face In a dream last night And it hurt so much Yes, it hurt so much She was in my mind As I drank my wine And now I count the costs Of the one I lost She went away To a different place And she was never to return Whatever happened to that girl? Sometimes you don't know what you've got You think you're better than the rest And the world belongs to you But you're nothing but a fool If you can hold her in your hands If you can feel her in your heart Don't ever let her run away Don't ever let her drift away Cause it will break you later on When you're left there on your own Don't ever let her slip away Don't ever let her drift away It's a crying shame It caused so much pain It's sad that way It was me that day Cause I turned you away Like I didn't know who you were I was such a fool I was so cruel And the years went by And without a word of lie I still love you But what can I do? Hold her in your hand Feel her in your heart Don't ever let her drift away (let her drift away) Hold her in your hand Feel her in your heart Don't ever let her drift away (let her drift away)

Rolling down 295 out of Portland, Maine Still high from the people up there and feeling no pain Gonna make it to New Jersey, gonna set it up and do it again I got a bottle of wine (Pass it over) I got a broken white line (I'm still sober) There ain't nothing but time between this silver eagle And that New Jersey line Well it's a rock and roll band or a movie you can take your pick And it ain't bad work if you can get it But you gotta make it stick But getting any kind of sleep on this rolling motel that's the trick I got a bottle of wine (Pass it over) I got a broken white line (I'm still sober) There ain't nothing but time between this silver eagle And that New Jersey line It's just a bottle of wine (Pass it over) It's just a broken white line (I'm still sober) It's just a whole lot of time in the twilight zone Between me and these friends of mine
