Flowers of Evil - Ric Ocasek

Riding on the rickshaw

Taking in the sights

Passing all the sicko bars

Pulling out a light

Sucking in the super jets

Blowing out the news

Feels like a tragedy

I got the slicker city blues

The flowers of evil

The flowers of evil

Ah, the flowers of evil

Will surely grow

Crackle up your color box

Count up all your change

Make it all seem tolerable

Get yourself enraged

Ah, give 'em all a sucker punch

Bring it to a head

And shove it down their throats

All eyes are flashing red, yeah

The flowers of evil

Ah, the flowers of evil

Oh, the flowers of evil

Will surely grow

And going through motions of life

Oh, and dancing

Dancing 'neath the stars and the strife

Going through motions of life

Oh, and dancing

Dancing 'neath the stars and the strife

Yeah, dancing by the sea stars

Shaking up a shirt

Ah, throw away your language

Ah, keep from getting hurt

And falling through the night

And falling through the day

We’re living in some faulty times

You can hear them say

The flowers of evil

The flowers of evil

The flowers of evil

Will surely grow

Ah, will surely grow

The flowers of evil

Will surely grow

The flowers of evil

Ah, ah, will surely grow

The flowers of evil

Oh, the flowers of evil

Will surely grow
