Eels - The Deconstruction
Eels’ find themselves flourishing once again, with E. looking outwards rather than inwards on ‘The Deconstruction’.
Lyrics
Flower
[Verse 1]
Turn the ugly light off, God
Wanna feel the night
Every day it shines down on me
Don't you think that I see
Don't you think that I see
What it's all about?
[Chorus 1]
Hard to look the other way
While the world passes me by
And everyone is trying to bum me out
[Verse 2]
It's a pretty big world, God
And I am awful small
Every day they rain down on me
Flower in a hailstorm
Flower in a hailstorm
I'm livin' for the drought
[Chorus 2]
I could throw it back at them
But then I'd play their game
Everyone is trying to bum me out
[Bridge]
When I came into this world they slapped me
And every day since then I'm slapped again
Tomorrow's king, an unsightly coward
