Riding on the rickshaw
Taking in the sights
Passing all the sicko bars
Pulling out a light
Sucking in the super jets
Blowing out the news
Feels like a tragedy
I got the slicker city blues
The flowers of evil
The flowers of evil
Ah, the flowers of evil
Will surely grow
Crackle up your color box
Count up all your change
Make it all seem tolerable
Get yourself enraged
Ah, give 'em all a sucker punch
Bring it to a head
And shove it down their throats
All eyes are flashing red, yeah
The flowers of evil
Ah, the flowers of evil
Oh, the flowers of evil
Will surely grow
And going through motions of life
Oh, and dancing
Dancing 'neath the stars and the strife
Going through motions of life
Oh, and dancing
Dancing 'neath the stars and the strife
Yeah, dancing by the sea stars
Shaking up a shirt
Ah, throw away your language
Ah, keep from getting hurt
And falling through the night
And falling through the day
We're living in some faulty times
You can hear them say
The flowers of evil
The flowers of evil
The flowers of evil
Will surely grow
Ah, will surely grow
The flowers of evil
Will surely grow
The flowers of evil
Ah, ah, will surely grow
The flowers of evil
Oh, the flowers of evil
Will surely grow
