Horizontal Logic - The Residents

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
