I've 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

The flowers cover everything
They cover over everything
The flowers cover everything

The flowers cover everything
They cover over everything
The flowers cover everything

There's something that I've never seen before
The flowers often bloom at night
Amanita is the name, they cover over everything
