USELESS FLOWERS
Words & Music: Paul, Ish & KC
Special Arrangements: Jeri

lyrics

I bought a double breasted suit
A most conservative design
I brought you useless flowers
And all they did was die
A broken heart that will not break
Remains acceptable completely gone astray
The process here is elementary
In a junior high school sort of way

Not that I'm laughing
But I'm known to smirk and wave goodbye
While standing lonely by your side
I could have died a thousand deaths
And never had the chance
To tell you all the secrets I have kept
Explain to you the humor
In all the jokes you didn't get
Won't someone stop the noises in my head

I caught my taxicab at five
I shopped for monumental truth
Found a procrastinating savior
Who said that he had better things to do

Not that I'm laughing
But I raise my eyebrows toward the sky
With diamonds sprinkling far behind
And wish all necks bedecked with crucifixes
Could be fixed by
Hypocrites who kill for peace and lust
Sentimental cynics
Who endear themselves to all of us
I know I should be something
But I'm not

Not that I'm laughing
But everything that cracks me up inside
Is just another fish to Friday
And Friday's when I sneak around the back
And wear my silk-bottom beret
One two three four five six seven eight nine
Million dollars
But all the money I fail to make
Can't buy me love
