Safe in My Garden
(John Phillips)




Safe in my garden
An ancient flower blooms
And the scent from its nature
Slowly squares my room
And its perfume means such 
That its causing me to swoon
Safe in my garden
(Could it be, we were hot-wired? Late one night while 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, to late to try to understand)
We dont care where it lands we just throw it.
(Slowly squares my room)
Somebody take us away
Somebody take us away
Safe in my garden
(Could it be we were hot-wired  late one night were 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, to late to try to understand)
Slowly squares my room
(We dont care where it lands we just throw it.)
(Somebody take us away)
And its perfume means such
(Somebody take us away)
That its causing me to swoon
(Safe in my garden)
When you go out in the street
So many hassles with the heat
(An ancient flower blooms)
No one there can fill your desire
(And the scent from its nature)
Cops out with the megaphones 
Tellin people stay inside their homes
(Slowly squares my room)
Man, cant 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, tellin people stay inside their homes)
Man, the worlds on fire
(Slowly squares our room)
Take us away
Take us away
