Rusted root lonely as a flower lyrics

Here we stand again 



in the year of 1999. 



But you're so far 



but yet so close



and in the ancestral rays 



of the sun



We're passing time 



in the video store



remembering all the things 



that we were







but I've been pushed back 



to the cradle



though I believe I'm bigger now



although I'm lonely as a flower







In the alabaster lazy sun



never long time for the weeping



alabaster lazy sun 



in my day







and I swung the door wide open



yes I've done my deeds adorned



when I crashed into your building



and I hope you don't cry to long



huddled in debris land



but tommorow's perfect 



tommorow's Tuesday







In the alabaster lazy sun, 



never long time for the weeping



alabaster lazy sun 



in my day







but darlin' don't you weep



silver and gold



Aren't we lonely as a flower



climbing above these walls







Aren't we



Lonely as a flower



Climbing above these walls



let's forget these stupid buildings



come on my lover take the fall







In the alabaster lazy sun



never long time for the weeping



alabaster lazy sun 



in my day







I can remember when 



Rock n Roll was somewhat of a God



leaving us naked and so alive



but now it's 



just a two day masquerade



I guess I'll go 



to the corn fields and pray
