Roadside Flowers from Automatic Charm by The Bone Folders

When did you know, that the powerlines were broken
Where did you go, when the suburbs sank from the sky
And why did you hold those stones and throw away the diamonds
Dead flowers by the roadside

Who did you meet, as you were driving through the wonders
And what did they steal that you hadn’t already lost
And how many times did you cry to me, when it all went south
Dead flowers by the roadside

Twilight changes as you fill your years. Days get short and nights come and go
And a movie reel seems to spin, so much faster
As it heads towards the end of the show

How could it be, that your desperate friends were riding
To hide from your seek, until you found them ready or not
So why did you still thread your gold into their rusting wires
Dead flowers by the roadside
Dead flowers by the roadside

Don’t give your enemies too much time. That way you let the bastards win
‘Cos we’re less unkillable, than we used to be
Now that time has become a sniper

There are only two stories: either a person goes on a journey
Or else a stranger, a stranger comes into town
If that’s how it is, then I will be that stranger
Planting flowers by the roadside
New flowers by the roadside
Flowers by the roadside
