The Residents
Horizontal Logic
Once I arose 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
