The Man Who Loved Flowers
VERSE1
A tranquil place disturbed by riders
Country folk alarmed
Fumes from bikes are choking growth
Tyre tracks squashing earth
Laughing in their ignorance,teenage tearaways
Need to teach them all a lesson
One they'll never forget
BRIDGE
Listen to the scarecrows call
He tells me to protect the land
Pigs and sheep are well aware to
Trespass would mean "Country Fayre"
CHORUS
Show respect for God's green and resplendant land
See the beauty in Nature's creativity
VERSE2
A pitchfork is a handy weapon
Watch those bikers fly
Stick in wheels propel through curved air
Splash my garden wall
Strip them naked burn their clothes
Dig a gaping hole
Jellied bones and pumpkin heads
Fertilize my land
CHORUS2
Realize that the flowers reflect our mortality
See them grow in the blink of an eye
They all die
MID8
Worms break free breathe surface air
The poison bodies choke the earth
Blossomed flowers quickly wilt
They look to me for help
Screaming voices in my ears
I pray for rain to clean the soil
Paint the sky with shadows grey
Clouds explode in boiling water!
BRIDGE3
Scarecrow walks the land at night
He protects the "precious things"
Campers disappear in mist
Never see the city lights again!
