lyrics

SUBWAY FLOWERS (Blood/Melton/Nelson)

You gave all my clothes to the good will
And you set all my records on fire
Honey you sure know how to kill me without even lifting a knife

You say I’m drab awful and hopeless
And my wardrobe is cheaper than wine
But honey my style is so ageless
I only dress up like an old man so I’ll feel young when I die

You say that you love me and I’ve got potential
But honey I love you just fine
I know I can’t fix you a square meal
But I can show you a pretty good time

You’re harping on me like some sting from a bee
Instead of just smelling the flowers
But it puzzles me though dear why you love me so
When I’m just not the right guy who’s digging your gold

So I’ll be saving all my pennies and dimes
For some cheap subway flowers and a ride on the town
And I’ll be waiting on that old city line
That leads me on home back to you like some breadcrumbs to your side

Don’t get me wrong, I love you to pieces
I’d be lost without you, desert flower
And though we may disagree on a few things
You’re still the cherry in my whisky sour

So salt all the angels in judgement
With a grain or two sifted real fine
And make sure none of its wasted
Because I wouldn’t take that love from you
Without giving a good fight

So I’ll be saving all my pennies and dimes
For some cheap subway flowers and a ride on the town
And I’ll be waiting on that old city line
That leads me on home back to you like some breadcrumbs to your side
