Safe In My Garden

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

Safe in my garden
(Could it be that we're hot wired)
An ancient flower blooms
(Late one night while very tired) And the scent from its nature
(They stole our minds and thought we'd never know it)
Slowly squares my room
(With a bottle in each hand)
And it's perfume being such
(Too late to try to understand)
That it's causing me to swoon
(We don't care where it lands we just throw it)

Somebody take us away
Somebody take us away

Safe in my garden
(Could it be that we're hotwired late one night while very tired)
An ancient flower blooms
(The stole our minds and thought we'd never know it)
And the scent from its nature
(With a bottle in each hand, to late to try to understand)
Slowly squares my room
(Somebody take us away)
And its perfume being such
That it's causing me to swoon

When you go out in the street
(Safe in my garden)
So many hassles with the heat
(an ancient flower blooms
No one there can fill your desire
(And the scent)
Cops out with the megaphones
Tellin' people stay inside their homes
Man, can't they see the worlds on fire

Somebody take us away
Take us away

Safe in our garden
An ancient flower blooms
And the scent from its nature
(Cops out with the megaphones
Telling people stay inside their homes
Man, the worlds on fire)
Slowly squares my room

Take us away
Take us away
