Flowers

How long the needless violence lasts is really up to you

I've asked you to forgive me at least 10 dozen times
Stop the senseless killing

Tell me how many flowers have to die
Tell me how many flowers have to die
Can't you hear those roses cry?
Tell me how many flowers have to die?
Tell me how many flowers have to die?
Before you give this love another try?
I'm crazy and I'm desperate, I had you and I blew it
But I've got a Visa in my wallet and I'm not afraid to use it
Just to wind up in your garbage can outside
Boxed up, wrapped in paper delivered to your front door

I've asked you to forgive me at least 9 dozen times
Baby, how many flowers have to die

Before you give this love another try?
And right now I've got nothing left to lose
