  • 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 have 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
