Oceanographer Niagara lyrics

I am sorry, I am not quite the flower you had thought.
You're mistaken, there's no nectar in my mother's autumn sweater.

If only I had colored petals... Stamen, stem and pistil, too,
the sticky pollen that you're after... Then I could stay here, watching you.

I can't move because you're fragile.
Your tongue is long and black and agile
as it searches through the threads
of brown and yellow, black and red.


If only I had colored petals... Stamen, stem and pistil, too,
the sticky pollen that you're after... Then I could stay here, watching you.

Alas, but I am only human.
You, you only live a couple days.
There's blossoms all around us blooming
so move your wings, get on your way.
