Sylvia Rose Novak - Flowers for the Fortunate Lyrics



Sylvia Rose Novak - Flowers for the Fortunate Lyrics




We'll raise our glasses to misspent youth
Try to tell the lies from the truth
Only look long enough to see if the dam will hold
Spend the next three years on the run
Don some armor and ride into the sun
Buy flowers for the fortunate
And pray that we don't get old

It's a dizzy dance, this second chance
But you say you're just a victim of circumstance
Caught between could've been and could be
Paralyzed by should've been and should be
One hand on the throttle and one foot in the grave
Just another soul to save

We shiver and curse the heat
Throw roses at one another's feet
Only look long enough to see if the stone has rolled
Sing dirges we don't understand
Cling to cross to beat the band
Buy flowers for the fortunate
And buy the lies we're sold

It's a dizzy dance, this second chance
But you say you're just a victim of circumstance
Caught between could've been and could be
Paralyzed by should've been and should be
One hand on the throttle and one foot in the grave
Just another soul to save

It's a dizzy dance, this second chance
But you say you're just a victim of circumstance
Caught between could've been and could be
Paralyzed by should've been and should be
One hand on the throttle and one foot in the grave
Just another soul to save
