we all bear marks
from our broken towns
and often as not we look on ourselves
as strangers
and at the carnival
you might find us just limping around
oh yeah the years twist by
but nothing else really changes
but i remember flowers on the grave
i was a curious child
i peered down into that hole
and even as everybody else sort of
drifted away
well i leaned in closer
because i simply had to know
there are flowers on the grave
i’ll take back
everything i gave you
there are flowers on the grave
and they cry for vengeance
and mama’s alright
with the way things’ve got to be
now that my sister’s run off
to join the revolution yeah
we spend our days
playing hide and seek
down at the cemetery
i shared a kiss
with some orphaned girl
on the withered lawn
there are flowers on the grave
i dreamt a grisly masquerade
there are flowers on the grave
and they cry for vengeance
now lately
my brother’s been feeling so damn strange
he gave into his vices:
“just one more time”
uh, but it’s me they caught getting high
down by daddy’s grave
in my high heeled sneakers calling
“please don’t go… goodbye”
there are flowers on the grave
i dreamt a grisly masquerade
there are flowers on the grave
and they cry for vengeance
