about

Our Finest Flowers is an album by The Residents, released in 1992. For their 20th anniversary, instead of releasing a greatest hits compilation, they decided to release an album of new songs created by combining various components of different past songs. The Residents borrowed from not only their own past original songs, but some of their known cover songs and songs by frequent collaborators Snakefinger and Renaldo and the Loaf. The liner notes refer to the album as "Celebrating Twenty Long Dreary Years of Obscure Stardom".

lyrics

Come and see the holy twosome
They can heal and they can do some
Things that no one ever did before
He really loved them, he really cared

Silently I stood between them
Holding up the crimson gleaming
Circle with its ends not quite in line
And then I lifted up the cover

Softly like it was my lover
And I felt them shudder as they sighed
As I clamped the metal on it
Something like a liquid donut

Shimmered by the holy union side
Then the people screamed and shouted
As the donut grew and sprouted
Little bitty dust balls made of fire

And then these soon enough descended
Down the lines that finally ended
At the screams and unbelieving cries

For soon the cripples would be walking
And the dummies would be talking
But no one knew exactly how or why
