Taking The Last Bouquet Lyrics

Fly me of to Paris and I'll sing all night

Lock me in a closet and I'll try to write

Postcards from inside a heart that's wrapped so tight in incense

Tell me you're a goddess of the third degree

Blend me in your magic at a half past three

Stop just long enough to collect your fee in silence

And now you've taking the last bouquet

Find yourself a dream and then cancel it

Stand up on the mountain when you'd rather sit

Find the perfect lover who's the perfect fit and then score

Wake up in the morning with a different view

The angel starts to vanish because she's through with you

Broken and indifferent nothing left to do anymore

Because she's taking the last bouquet

Memories of paradise and hidden charms

Wrapped up with a stranger in each others arms

From Bourbon Street to Minnesota's family farms the sky says danger

I thought night was open with a thousand stars

Did I really think I'd find myself in topless bars?

Dating naked women driving foreign cars and feeling stranger

And now she's taking the last bouquet

No well ain't that enough for the night to provide

Well isn't it obvious I'm on your side?

Well what else could I give that I haven't yet?

There's already so much to forget

That night inside a candle when the room was warm

The heaving of your chest while cradled in my arm

The tenderness and suffering in a winter storm well I can almost taste it

The way you let me down just like a ton of stone

The silence that you sent me became too well known

The way I took you back aha I thought you'd grown but you couldn't fake it

And now you're taking the last bouquet

That summer in the hot tub with your special glow

You were standing in the fountain saying how do I know?

The crosswords on the couch swaying to and fro in the morning

The way you tried to leave me for the common good

The way I shook your hand and said I knew you would

Even though I never really understood with no warning

You were taking the last bouquet

Hell ain't that enough for the night to provide

Isn't it obvious I'm on your side?

Hell what else could I give that I haven't yet?

There's already so much to forget

That last attempt at rapture with an evil hiss

The lady wearing red again it hurt like this

To think we'd come this far and only just one kiss it kind of grieves me

That morning in your bathrobe with a storm a brewing

You told me not to go to work just keep on do what I'm doing

I should have stayed right there and finished

I should've chewed what I was chewing now fate deceives me

And you've taken the last bouquet

Hell ain't that enough for the night to provide

Isn't it obvious I'm on your side?

Hell what else could I give that I haven't yet?

There's already so much to forget

Fly me of to Paris and I'll sing all night

Lock me in a closet and I'll try to write

Postcards from inside a heart that's wrapped so tight in incense

And tell me you're a goddess of the third degree

Blend me in your magic at a half past three

Stop just long enough to collect your fee in silence

And now you've taking the last bouquet
