jude grant - lilies (waltz for broke kids) lyrics

Loading...

[refrain]
i know that it’s cliche to sing about flowers
but i saw this bouquet of lilies by the bodega

and, they looked like long green arms clutching on pompoms
and, i wanted them for the living room–to cheer us on

[verse 1]
’cause, oh, back in high school
we might’ve been losers
but we are older and artists now
no longer creatures that live under bleachers:
we’ll be the tigers that draw in the crowd

[refrain]
i know that it’s cliche to sing about money
but, oh, those bouquets–they were ten bucks apiece

and, we don’t havе cash to blow on random beauty
when we’rе scr+ping by on rent and can’t afford heat

[verse 2]
but, sooner or later
we’ll both be rich men
and we can buy all the lilies we want
fill this apartment with all colors of pompoms:
it’ll be our godd+mn superbowl
[refrain]
i know that it’s cliche to sing about cliches
but, oh, self+irony here is what i think’s best

’cause if i don’t come out of this rich and famous
at least i can know i’ve put my mind at rest
