Poppies (Live at the Hive) Lyrics

We don't like music

We can't stand dancing

We can't waste our time

With this hopeless romancing

Well, time is money

And we're in debt to time

Well, you gotta pay it back

To that great taxman in the sky

So take it or leave it

We're all just make-believing

Invest in your future

Sell off your hobbies

Or just give it up

And laze away in the poppies

Forget what the flower means

Trade your power for efficiency

Well, it's alright

It's just that easy

To pawn off your dreams

As long as it feeds the

Well, the well is running dry

The idea is not to die

Well, I just want my mind to fly

But I gotta get that rent on time

You know how it goes

You don't need me to tell you so

Just turn the song off

Enjoy the moment

Devoid of noise

And its respective components

So break it all down

Just to build it back up

'Cause you won't know what it means

Unless you feel the lack of

When the silence consumes you

You'll beg for a note to tune to

And when the vivid dims

You'll long for a new song to begin

I can't fight it

Just feels right

When my mind finds

A way to speak

Free and easy

Only bound to the beat

Write it down

To set it free

I can't hide it

Just feels right

When my mind finds

A time to write to

Set it in stone

And let it go

When the time is right

And watch your babies grow

And flourish free and easy

Just like the poppies

Flutter in the breeze

With no sign of stopping

'Til the chill of winter

Wilts your flowers

But not the memories

They're ours

Free and easy

Only bound to the beat

Write it down

To set it free

I can't fight it

Just feels right

When my mind finds

A time to ride to

Set it in stone

And let it go

When the time is right

And watch your babies grow

And flourish free and easy

Just like the poppies

Flutter in the breeze

With no sign of stopping

'Til the chill of winter

Wilts your flowers

But not the memories

They're ours
