Edible Flowers - Neil Finn

Everybody wants the same thing

Everybody wants the same thing

To see another birthday

Look at all the pretty numbers

Look at all the pretty numbers

Scattered on the calendars

I can see my reflection

I can see my reflection

In the shop window

Who owns that space

Declare it if you dare tonight

Don’t let the moment pass

Until another day

Bright lights dissolve

Like sugar deep inside you now

It all ends up the same somehow

I’m hardly here at all

All the trash and the treasure

All the trash and the treasure

All the pain and the pleasure

Taste the edible flowers

Taste the edible flowers

Scattered in the salad days

Who owns that space

Declare it if you dare tonight

Don’t let the moment pass

Until another day

Bright lights dissolve

Like sugar deep inside you now

And still the rain keeps coming down

I’m hardly here at all

And everything’s gone quiet now

I’m hardly here at all
