Flowers of Neptune 6 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yellow sun is going down so slow (Slow, slow, slow, slow, slow)
Doing acid and watching the light bugs glow (Glow, glow, glow, glow, glow)
Like tiny spaceships in a row (Row, row, row, row, row)
The coolest thing I'll ever know (Know, know, know, know)
[Pre-Chorus]
John's still a greaser and Tommy's gone off to war
James got busted and doesn't give a fuck anymore
[Chorus]
Oh my god, why is it them?
Oh my god, now it's me
[Verse 2]
Orange flowers bursting into bloom
Into Saturn, Jupiter, the moon
[Pre-Chorus]
John's still a greaser and Tommy's gone off to war
James got busted and doesn't give a fuck anymore
[Chorus]
Oh my god, why is it them?
Oh my god, now it's me
Oh my god, why is it them?
Oh my god, now it's me
[Outro]
Alright, cool

As we started to make it, we were like, ‘I don’t think it’s as good if it keeps going too long, because it’s got such a crescendo of emotion. Let’s...
