I Hate the Flowers

Street cleaners
Waking me
Flu-infected city
Prostitutes of sleep
Pummelled brain
Late L train
Manhattan rain
Terrible shame
Stop all the clocks in my brain
Clog all the veins in the drains
Build a coffin around this house
Dismantle the sun from the couch
First Ave, stop
Fear of fate
Live forever
No escape
Human sound
City voice
Weighing down
Sickening noise
Stop all the clocks in my brain
Clog all the veins in the drains
Build a coffin around this house
Dismantle the sun from the couch
Lost in a dream, but it wasn’t oh well
Shook outta heaven, fell into hell
Stop all the clocks in my brain
Clog all the veins in the drains
Build a coffin around this house
Dismantle the sun from the couch
