Where Gardens Grew

Where Gardens Grew

Tiger stripes and leopard spots
Designer jeans on astronauts
Germs that live up in your bones
Weaving through some orange cones

Camp out in a plastic tent
open top for air to vent
The twilight sky is full of holes
patch them up with honest soles

Plant the flag where gardens grew
Time is made of glass and glue
Flowers grow in rewind

Ivy grows on idol’s head
colors bleed from green to red
a trumpet to announce the king
swallow fast your diamond ring

Big foam hand on broken wrist
mother’s milk with a lemon twist
and there goes Davey Crocket’s brain
back up on it’s feet again

Plant the flag where gardens grew
Time is made of glass and glue
Flowers grow in rewind

Two knocked down one standing up
rain storms from a paper cup
Yaks fall out in revue
like the way good soldiers do

the comet tail is hot and bright
shirtless on a moonlight night
and if you could have a trap door
you’d put it on the ocean floor

Plant the flag where gardens grew
Time is made of glass and glue
Flowers grow in rewind
