[Intro]
One, two, three
[Verse 1]
The flowers from St. Jupiter
Are growin' in the yard
And I made sure that I planted 'em
At least three feet apart
To discourage all the mornin' pissers
Tryin' to leave their mark
It's been a long fucking summer
It's been a long year
I feel fat and old and dumber
And I'm watchin' time disappear
[Verse 2]
The flowers from St. Jupiter
Look better in these pots
I remember when we bought 'em
I complained 'cause it was hot
If I could travel back in time
I'd just shut my mouth and let you shop
It's been a long fucking winter
It's been a strange yеar
There ain't a day that I don't miss her
But that's just how it is around hеre
[Verse 3]
The flowers from St. Jupiter
Are fifty cents a pack
The ones that grew on Jocelyn Road
Have shriveled and turned black
But if it's meant to be
The things that leave some day come back
But that's a long time waitin'
That's a hard life
I'll just keep the fire in me ragin'
And I'll be doin' alright
I'll just keep the fire in me ragin'
And I'll be doin' alright

The flowers looked better when she planted them. I should’ve just let her know that at the time. Where the...
