Safe in my garden,
|
An ancient flower blooms.
|
And the scent from its nature
|
Slowly squares my room;
|
And its perfume being such
|
that it's causing me to swoon.
|
Could it be we were hot-wired
|
(Safe in my garden, an ancient flower blooms...)
|
Late one night while very tired?
|
They stole our minds and thought we'd never know it.
|
(And the scent from its nature slowly squares my room...)
|
With a bottle in each hand; too late to try to understand.
|
We don't care where it lands - we just throw it.
|
|
Somebody take us away...
|
Somebody take us away...

|
|
When you go out in the street, (Safe in our garden...)
|
So many hassles with the heat;
|
No one there can fill your desire. (And the scent...)
|
Cops out with the megaphones,
|
Telling people stay inside their home.
|
Man, can't they see the world's on fire?
|
|
Somebody take us away...take us away...
