The Garden Song Songtext
von The Mountain Goats

I see the flowers in your garden are in bloom.
I see the flags are flying high.
I hear you′ve gone and rearranged things in your room.
I guess you're trying to cut-off my air supply.


I came toward your window, real slowly.
I knew deep down I was about to strike oil.
I guess by the now the flowers in your garden know me.
I felt them trying to get at me through the soil.

My bare feet felt the cool, soft dirt,
Moving up my ankles, but I don′t fear you.
The thorns began tearing at my shirt,
But I didn't even care when they tore clear through.

Your garden can't hurt me.
Your flowers don′t threaten my life.
Your garden can′t hurt me anymore.
Your flowers don't threaten my life.
