That (Such a Thing) / Flowers

[Part 1: That (Such a Thing)]

[Verse 1]
There's a place where people dance
While holding hands
To light of the moon, sing to me tunes
And I'm not ugly
And loved ones that died still survive with no pain

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'd lose if it went away
Just how do I begin to explain?
By the way, your way or my way's okay
'Cause either way you don't have a name
It's when she loved me
The taste of the dew and the music in you

[Chorus]
It's the moment that don't let you down
The place you go when there's no one around
The taste you know when the tears touch your mouth
Would you think? Would you seek? Would you find?

[Post-Chorus]
And know that it's always around
Yeah, know that it's always around

[Verse 2]
I know you tend to complicate
Every choice you make
Oh, please don't lose something so beautiful
It's very lovely
But who am I to stay in this world that I made?

[Pre-Chorus]
And I knew when you went, went away
Yeah, I knew 'cause you whispered my name
And said you loved me
But how could I ever explain such a thing?

[Chorus]
It's the moment you open your eyes
While you think that you're all still alive
'Til the taste of the tears will remind
What you feel, what you'd fear, what you'd find

It's the moment that won't let you down
It's your scream when you can't make a sound
It's all you see with the tears rolling down
It's what you think, what you fear, but you know you will find

[Post-Chorus]
And know that it's always around
Know that it's always around
And I know it's always around

[Part 2: Flowers]

[Verse 1]
The children will sing
A song in the streets
Sounds like the 23rd psalm
To music of twenty-one guns
The flowers are dead
In a vase by the bed
In the place where the old woman died
It's the same place she started her life
The papers will all say her name
And probably print the wrong date

[Refrain]
The day that you die
'Cause we're all gonna die

[Verse 2]
Cute little puppies and bunnies and birds
People who sing when they don't know the words
You will die

[Refrain]
'Cause we're all gonna die
It's just part of life

[Verse 3]
All men, women, children, hermaphrodites, too
Animals, aliens, and certainly you
You will die

[Refrain]
'Cause we're all gonna die
'Cause everyone dies

[Verse 4]
And all that was ever and all that will be
Single-celled creatures and anything green
You will die

[Refrain]
'Cause we're all gonna die
Start saying goodbye

[Verse 5]
From the moment you start up this miserable life
You should know that it's only a matter of time
'Til you die

[Refrain]
'Cause we're all gonna die
Start saying goodbye

[Verse 6]
And the morons at labels who think they know tunes
The army of lawyers that threaten to sue
The hookers that blow them when I just want food
And the asshats that download, and never buy tunes
You should die

[Refrain]
'Cause we're all gonna die
I can't wait 'til you die

[Verse 7]
All Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox Jews
You dumb Scientologists and guys who bend spoons
Well Buddhists, sort of, and Atheists, too
All you wack-job believers, nobody's immune
You will die

[Refrain]
'Cause we're all gonna die
Kiss your ass goodbye

[Verse 8]
And sarcastic songwriters, guys with tattoos
Drummers and bassists and engineers, too
And every last person that sang in this room
They will die

[Refrain]
'Cause we're all gonna die
Yeah, we're all gonna die
'Cause we're all gonna die
Yeah, we're all gonna die

[Outro]
And it's just a reminder of something that's frequently known
