Safe in my Garden

[Taverner]

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 causing me to swoon.
Could it be we were hot-wired?
(Safe in my garden, an ancient flower blooms...)
Late one night; we抮e very tired.
They stole our minds and thought we抎 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,
So many hassles with the heat;
No one there can fill your desire.
Cops out with the megaphones,
Telling people stay inside their home.
Man, can they see the world on fire?

Somebody take us away...take us away...

One of the M&P's best. John works the harmonies pretty well.
