Jam

Jam - Carnation lyrics

If you gave me a fresh carnation

I would only crush it's tender petals

With me you'll have no escape

And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle -

I trample down all life in my wake

I eat it up and take the cake

I just avert my eyes to the pain

Of someone's loss helping my gain

If you gave me a dream for my pocket

You'd be plugging in the wrong socket

With me there's no room for the future

With me there's no room with a view at all -

I am out of season all year 'round

Hear machinery roar to my empty sound

Touch my heart and feel winter

Hold my hand and be doomed forever -

If you gave me a fresh carnation

I would only crush it's tender petals

With me you'll have no escape

And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle.

And if you're wondering by now who I am

Look no further than the mirror -

Because I am the greed and fear

And every ounce of hate in you.
