Lyrics Horizontal Logic - The Residents

Horizontal Logic

Once I rose from a small wooden chair
Opened the window and started to stare
At roses that grow in a vertical way
Because there is sunshine above them each day
I smiled at the roses and started to think
Of beauty that lay in this logical link
If life was as simple as just growing flowers
Think of the seconds and minutes and hours
We never would waste on our feelings of trust
Loyalty, honesty, love or disgust
