Nothing To Lose - Diamond Head Lyrics

Here we stand
Like an Adam and an Eve
Waterfalls
The Garden of Eden
Two fools in love
So beautiful and strong
The birds in the trees
Are smiling upon them
From the age of the dinosaurs
Cars have run on gasoline
Where, where have they gone?
Now, it's nothing but flowers
There was a factory
Now there are mountains and rivers
(you got it, you got it)
We caught a rattlesnake
Now we got something for dinner
(we got it, we got it)
There was a shopping mall
Now it's all covered with flowers
(you've got it, you've got it)
If this is paradise
I wish I had a lawnmower
(you've got it, you've got it)
Years ago
I was an angry young man
I'd pretend
That I was a billboard
Standing tall
By the side of the road
I fell in love
With a beautiful highway
This used to be real estate
Now it's only fields and trees
Where, where is the town
Now, it's nothing but flowers
The highways and cars
Were sacrificed for agriculture
I thought that we'd start over
But I guess I was wrong
Once there were parking lots
Now it's a peaceful oasis
(you got it, you got it)
This was a Pizza Hut
Now it's all covered with daisies
(you got it, you got it)
I miss the honky tonks,
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
(you got it, you got it)
And as things fell apart
Nobody paid much attention
(you got it, you got it)
I dream of cherry pies,
Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies
(you got it, you got it)
We used to microwave
Now we just eat nuts and berries
(you got it, you got it)
This was a discount store,
Now it's turned into a cornfield
(you got it, you got it)
Don't leave me stranded here
I can't get used to this lifestyle
