Sleeping In The Flowers (Live NYC)
By: They Might Be Giants
Year: 1994

Flansburgh: Ladies and gentlemen, it's our special pleasure to introduce direct from Brooklyn, Mr. Jay Sherman-Godfrey from the World Famous Blue Jays on the electric guitar.

I got a crush Copy shop clerk But she won't look up at me Don't want to be known as the freak Who just comes around to catch her eye

We could be sleeping in the flowers We could sleep all afternoon You'd proclaim that you're an island I'd proclaim that I'm one too Then we float into the harbor With just piers and boats around I declare that I am England You declare that I have drowned

I got a ride Home with a drunk guy How ungrateful I must have seemed He showed me how To spin my head round and round

We could be sleeping in the flowers We could sleep all afternoon You'd proclaim that you're an island I'd proclaim that I'm one too Then we float into the harbor With just piers and boats around I declare that I am England You declare that I have drowned

We could be sleeping in the flowers We could sleep all afternoon You'd proclaim that you're an island I'd proclaim that I'm one too Then we float into the harbor With just piers and boats around I declare that I am England You declare that I have drowned

We'll be sleeping in the flowers Tell my boss that I've been fired We'll be sleeping in the flowers Tell my boss that I've been fired We'll be sleeping in the flowers Tell my boss I'm fired We'll be sleeping in the flowers Tell my boss I'm fired

Flansburgh: Thank you very much!

Linnell: Thank you Jay, Sir.
