Flowers Painted (On The Wall)

[Michael]

Listen if you like

Flowers painted on the wall
help me sleep at night.
Flowers painted on the wall
help me sleep at night.

‘Cause when I close my eyes, I see before me
people and friends who all adore me,
people and friends for whom I can really care,
but people and friends who are not really there.

Flowers painted on the wall
help me sleep at night.
Flowers painted on the wall
help me sleep at night.

‘Cause when I go into a dream, I can often see
that fire and rockets can no longer be
and this joy that I feel can no longer be me.
My heart jumps and sings out joyously.

Flowers painted on the wall
help me sleep at night.
Flowers painted on the wall
help me sleep at night.

And when the blue coat asks me what is wrong,
I say I find it hard to try to get along.
And when he sings his condemnation song,
I can’t really feel that he is so strong.

Flowers painted on the wall
help me sleep at night.
Flowers painted on the wall
help me sleep at night.

And when the two headed monsters all masticate,
they try very hard to use me for bait
to catch the food they say we all await.
I say it’s here now, they just hesitate.

Flowers painted on the wall
help me sleep at night.
Flowers painted on the wall
help me sleep at night.

And when I come back to the body from the soul,
it all seems to me so very old.
The sun shines bright, yet I’m so cold.
The world’s not lost, it’s just been sold.
