Nellie Mckay - Happy Flower lyrics

You and me We sweat We slave We gamble recklessly as if a dagger in the dark Me and you We misbehave We trample fecklessly upon the bladder of our hearts But it's a happy flower in the mornin sun And it'll keep perfumin when the mornin's done This ain't no tacky flower in a masquerade And it'll keep on bloomin till it steals the shade Of the garden ‘neath our windowpane You and me We leave We lie We're running through the ramble off the road of sad goodbyes Me and you We tease We try We're cutting off the ample charms put forward from the skies But it's a happy flower in the mornin sun And it'll keep on glowin when the mornin's done And though our happy flower doesn't make a sound Well it'll keep growin till it fills the ground Of the garden ‘neath our windowpane Happy flower Happy flower Happy flower Happy flower Happy flower Happy flower Happy flower Happy flower
