Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I took a picture that I'll have to send
People here are friendly and content
People here are colorful and bright
The flowers often bloom at night
[Verse 2]
Amanita is the name
The flowers cover everything
The flowers cover everything
[Verse 3]
There's something here I find hard to ignore
There's something that I've never seen before
Amanita is the name
They cover over everything
[Verse 4]
The flowers cover everything
They cover over everything
The flowers cover everything
[Verse 5]
Look into the sun
Look into the sun
[Verse 6]
The flowers cover everything
They cover over everything
The flowers cover everything
[Verse 7]
The flowers cover everything
They cover over everything
The flowers cover everything
[Verse 8]
There's something that I've never seen before
The flowers often bloom at night
Amanita is the name, they cover over everything
