lyrics

i was walking home when I saw you
turned to run but the wind says where you goin’
turned to run but my mind says what you doin’
tell me, where are you from
tell me, where am I from

i was running home when I saw you
turned away but the wind says where you goin’
turned away but my mind says what you doin’
tell me, how did you become

//
one step, american flower
two step, american flower
what do you dream of when you go to sleep
please tell me that you dream when you sleep
too anxious to work
too anxious to play
one pill and it all goes away
one step, american flower
two step, american flower

it’s not so far that you have to go
to see something of a different kind
american flower never stops to grow
we’re stuck here till we go
