Flowers Are So Pretty

Flowers are so pretty When you feel self pity Send me some to Cleveland today

Skies here are so gloomy My room just isn't roomy I wish that you would come out here & play

& the ants on my nightstand Dance for the crumbs From my drunken cookie spree & I don't know if those doctors Can ever repair those ligaments in my knee

Flowers are so pretty When you feel so shitty Send me some to Cleveland today

I believe if you were here with me That the television wouldn't flicker so disturbingly I got 38 channels from which to pick But they're all filled with tepid shit Remote control sits on my lap I give my face a nice cold slap How I wish that you would come out here & take me back

Flowers are so pretty When you feel self pity Send me some to Cleveland today

Skies here are so trashy My room just isn't flashy I wish that you would come out here & play & the maids never knock Before they enter my room Screaming housekeeping & I don't know if these pills have killed the pain inside my aching knees

Flowers are so pretty When you feel self pity Send me some to Cleveland today
