here we stand, like an Adam and an Eve
waterfalls, the Garden of Eden
two fools in love, so beautiful and strong
the birds in the trees are smiling upon them

from the age of the dinosaurs
cars have run on gasoline
where, where have they gone?
now it's nothing, but flowers

there was a factory
now there are mountains and rivers
you got it, you got it

we caught a rattlesnake
now we got something for dinner
we got it, we got it

there was a shopping mall
now it's all covered with flowers
you've got it, you've got it

if this is paradise
I wish I had a lawnmower
you've got it, you've got it

years ago, I was an angry young man
I'd pretend that I was a billboard
standing tall by the side of the road
I fell in love with a beautiful highway

this used to be real estate
now it's only fields and trees
where, where is the town?
now it's nothing, but flowers

the highways and cars
were sacrificed for agriculture
I thought that we'd start over
but I guess I was wrong

once there were parking lots
now it's a peaceful oasis
you got it, you got it

this was a Pizza Hut
now it's all covered with daisies
you got it, you got it

I miss the honky tonks
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
you got it, you got it

and as things fell apart
pobody paid much attention
you got it, you got it

I dream of cherry pies
candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies
you got it, you got it

we used to microwave
now we just eat nuts and berries
you got it, you got it

don't leave me stranded here
I can't get used to this lifestyle
