CARNATIONS
Rotting away
Rotting away
Away
Rotting away
You've got a pretty intention
Put it there in the flowerpot
With the blooming summer carnations
By September they'll be rotting away
They'll be rotting away
They'll be rotting away
We aim too high and it's not enough
Years go by and we are stuck
Wilting in a jardiniere
Going bad by staying the same
We'll grow just a little bit
But you know we're connected at the stems
Leaves can fall every now and then
But we're not going anywhere
Not going anywhere
just wilting away
Rotting away
Rotting away
Away
Rotting away
Away
Rotting away
Away
Rotting away
We aim too high and it's not enough
Years go by and we are stuck
Wilting in a jardiniere
Going bad by staying the same
Years go by and we are stuck
Wilting in a jardiniere
Going bad by staying the same
Rotting away
Rotting away
Away
Rotting away
You've got a pretty intention
Put it there in the flowerpot
With the blooming summer carnations
By September they'll be rotting away
They'll be rotting away
They'll be rotting away
We aim too high and it's not enough
Years go by and we are stuck
Wilting in a jardiniere
Going bad by staying the same
We'll grow just a little bit
But you know we're connected at the stems
Leaves can fall every now and then
But we're not going anywhere
Not going anywhere
just wilting away
Rotting away
Rotting away
Away
Rotting away
Away
Rotting away
Away
Rotting away
We aim too high and it's not enough
Years go by and we are stuck
Wilting in a jardiniere
Going bad by staying the same
Years go by and we are stuck
Wilting in a jardiniere
Going bad by staying the same
