Lyrics for Flower

Turn the ugly light off, God I 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 I 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
