Plastic Flowers - The Wake

I think of you every day

I just can’t wait to send you plastic flowers

Today I’ll be far away

So I’ll talk to you on the telephone

Nevertheless I’m happy and sad

Everyone knows me

Everyone knows my name

And I know they do

They seem to like me too

Everywhere I go they’re smiling

And I know they do

I think about yesterday

When I heard you say, «His Majesty is dreaming»

Tomorrow as I awake

The beds will shake

Whilst the palace walls are crumbling

Nevertheless I’m happy and safe

Everyone knows me

Everyone knows my name

And I know they do

They seem to like me too

Everywhere I go they’re smiling

And I know they do

Looking for the trace

The trace of my second face

Yes I’m looking

I’m looking for something that no one else could bring

Yes for something

Oh nevertheless I’m happy and sad

Everyone knows me

Everyone knows my name

And I know they do

They seem to like me too

Everywhere I go they know me

And I know they do

Nevertheless I’m happy and safe

Everyone knows me

Everyone knows my name

And I know they do
