Lyrics
The lyrics describe a post-apocalyptic world in which modern technology has been largely eliminated, and there is “nothing but flowers.” The song’s protagonist yearns for the disappeared items of his youth such as lawnmowers and fast food. The song is a satire of humanity’s alienation from and disregard for nature.
David Byrne claims to have written the lyrics while admiring flowers in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.
