Lyrics

Status: Choke

[Verse 1]

Where have my daisies gone?

Can I forget the sting?

One thousand flowers are storming the walls to defect to the midget-king

[Verse 2]

Today there's something caught in my quiver

A cauliflower-fisted dream

The shaman inside of the sty in my eye's prediction

Absurd!

[Chorus]

You can take your status

Choke! Choke!

Put your fingers down your throat

Choke! Choke!

Take your status

Choke! Choke!

Put your fingers down your throat

Choke! Choke!

[Bridge]

Oh, don't turn away

Now that I'm through with you

Say that you're depraved

Find me some lard to fry

My daisies are coming home

[Chorus]

Choke! Choke!

Choke! Choke!

Choke! Choke!

[Outro]

Where have my daisies?

Where have my daisies?

Where have my daisies?

Where have my daisies?

Where have my daisies?
