Marble Orbronze - The Flowers' Wager Lyrics

No fees, no fuss, for insects and for us the plants are putting on a show
Fabulous and free, the flowers' wager.
With scents with sights they offer their delights to those they cannot know
Those with eyes to see the flowers' wager.

A strategy outrageous and sublime
To search for favour
Somewhere on the other side of time
That's the flowers' wager.

Say what you have to say
And if you get no joy today
You won't be the first to play
The flowers' wager.
And make what you have to make
Whether you're Van Gogh or Nick Drake
You won't be the last to take
The flowers' wager
You won't be the last to take the flowers' wager.

So seal your notes inside the bottles' throats and sail them on the sea
To be tossed and blown, the flowers' wager.
Or burn some bars, blast them at the stars, on your Voyager's LP
Audience unknown, the flowers' wager.

A strategy outrageous and sublime
To search for favour
Somewhere on the other side of time
That's the flowers' wager.

The days fly by they fill the sky with circuits of the sun
And lives take place with little trace of anything they've done.

So say what you have to say
And if you get no joy today
You won't be the first to play
The flowers' wager.
And make what you have to make
Whether you're Van Gogh or Nick Drake
You won't be the last to take
The flowers' wager
You won't be the last to take
The flowers' wager.
You won't be the last to take
The flowers' wager.
