Lyrics
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 we were hot-wired? Late one night, we're very tired
(An ancient flower blooms) they stole our minds, and thought we'd never know it
(And the scent from its nature) with a bottle in each hand, too late to try to understand
(Slowly squares my room) we don't care where it lands, we just throw it
Somebody take us away
Somebody take us away
Safe in my garden
An ancient flower blooms
And the scent from its nature
Slowly squares my room
And it's perfume being such
That it's causing me to swoon
When you go out in the street
So many hassles with the heat
No one there can fill your desire
Cops out with the megaphones
Telling people to stay inside their home
Man, can't they see the world's on fire?
Somebody take us away, take us away
Safe in our garden
An ancient flower blooms
And the scent from its nature
Slowly squares the room
Take us away
Take us away
