Vegetable Kingdom Lyrics

Welcome to the vegetable kingdom


Welcome to the loveliest sight


That your eyes have ever spied upon


This time they'll reap
 the fruits of that reward

Welcome to the vegetable kingdom


Autumn comes so lovely and ripe


On the fields tonight


You can feel the vines grow up
 around your bones

Up on the weather-vane
 down in the well


Maybe you drowned there
 or maybe you fell


Out in the meadow lane
 all over town


I'm looking for you
 but you're not around

When the leaves were turning brown 
that's when I met you then


So many years ago 
it seems like now


My head is stuck in the ground

Welcome to the vegetable kingdom


Welcome to the flowers in bloom
 in the cold of night


You can just make out
the sun is rising


Up from the tops of trees 
over the hill


Maybe you're sleeping so gentle and still


Look from the weather-vane
 over the barn


I wanted to see you 
but I knew you were gone

To a place where time don't stop


Dead in it's tracks oh yes 
like it does here I guess


Nothing can grow
, nothing can grow

I wish the rain would come 
and wash this dust-bowl town away


Leaving rock and clay
a place to build the interstate


The trees are bare 
the crops have shrunk


Afraid to show their face in Podunk


Land of ice and snow


Nothing will grow
, nothing will grow

Up on the weather-vane
 down in the well


Maybe you drowned there
 or maybe you fell


Out in the meadow lane 
all over town


I'm looking for you
but you're still not around

When the leaves were turning brown


That's when I met you then
 so many years ago
it seems like now


My head is stuck in the ground

Welcome to the vegetable kingdom


Welcome to the loveliest sight


That your eyes have ever spied upon


This time they'll reap 
the fruits of that reward
