Fountains Of Wayne - Cold Comfort Flowers lyrics

Peace sign on the window Japanese car You will remember the pap on the radio Big blue policeman says stay where you are Surrender your Chinese arms Rock show Romeo Black and white shoes Strawberry haircut, in fist-pumping prime Scrape off the dross, keep what you can use And leave the weaker ones behind They step outside to step out slow In vain trying to find a hole they can't outgrow They evolve in time Wind finely on the vine Climbing toward the spots in the sun An unwelcome fate May ferry all away But cold comfort flowers Will bloom and decay Pink clouds, summer sorrow Oceanside swales If you don't feel pretty With your face in the tide Well, file your complaint in weary detail And tell the little people you tried They step outside to step out slow In vain trying to find a hole they can't outgrow They evolve in time Wind finely on the vine Climbing toward the spots in the sun An unwelcome fate May ferry all away But cold comfort flowers Will blossom and fade
