I feel like the flowers in this vase   He just brought 'em home one day, "Ain't they beautiful?" he said   They been here in the kitchen and the waters turnin' gray   They're sittin' in the vase but now they're dead, dead flowers      I feel like this long string of lights   They lit up our whole house on Christmas Day   But now it's January and the bulbs are all burned out   But still they hang like dead flowers      He ain't feelin' anythin'   My love, my hurt or the sting of this rain   I'm livin' in a hurricane   All he can say is, 'Man ain't it such a nice day?'   Yeah, yeah      I feel like the tires on this car   You said they won't go far but we're still rollin'   I look in the rear view and I see dead flowers in the yard   And that string of lights and it ain't glowin'   Like dead flowers, like dead flowers      He ain't feelin' anythin'   My love, my hurt or the sting of this rain   I'm drivin' through a hurricane   All he can say is, "Man ain't it such a nice day?"   Hey, hey, I guess we'll just go to waste   Like dead flowers      Like dead flowers, dead flowers
