Plastic flowers

[Verse 1]
I think of you every day
I just can't wait to send you plastic flowers
Today I'll be far away
So I'll talk to you on the telephone

[Chorus 1]
Nevertheless I'm happy and sad
Everyone knows me
Everyone knows my name
And I know they do
They seem to like me too
Everywhere I go they're smiling
And I know they do

[Verse 2]
I think about yesterday
When I heard you say, "His Majesty is dreaming"
Tomorrow as I awake
The beds will shake
Whilst the palace walls are crumbling

[Chorus 2]
Nevertheless I'm happy and safe
Everyone knows me
Everyone knows my name
And I know they do
They seem to like me too
Everywhere I go they're smiling
And I know they do

[Verse 3]
Looking for the trace
The trace of my second face
Yes I'm looking
I'm looking for something that no one else could bring
Yes for something

[Chorus 3]
Oh nevertheless I'm happy and sad
Everyone knows me
Everyone knows my name
And I know they do
They seem to like me too
Everywhere I go they know me
And I know they do

Nevertheless I'm happy and safe
Everyone knows me
Everyone knows my name
And I know they do
