Flowers of Evil Songtext
von 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
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
Give ′em all a sucker punch
Bring it to a head
Shove it down their throats
All eyes are flashing red
Going through motions of life
Dancin' ′neath the stars and the strife
Dancin' by the sea stars
Shaking up a shirt
Throw away your language
Keep from getting hurt
Fallin' through the night
Fallin′ through the day
Were living in some faulty times
You can hear them say
