The Mamas & The Papas — Safe in My Garden lyrics

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¦ Ї causing me to swoon.
Could it be we were hot-wired?
(Safe in my garden, an ancient flower blooms…)
Late one night; we¦ ®e very tired.
They stole our minds and thought we¦ Ѕ 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¦ ° care where it lands---we just throw it.
Somebody take us away…
Somebody take us away…
Safe in my garden,
(Could it be we were hot-wired; late one night we¦ ®e very tired…)
An ancient flower blooms.
(They stole our minds and thought we¦ Ѕ 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¦ ° care where it lands---we just throw it…)
(Somebody take us away…)
And it¦ Ї perfume being such
That it¦ Ї 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 stay inside their home.
Man, can¦ ° they see the world¦ Ї 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 world¦ Ї on fire.)
Slowly squares my room.
Take us away… take us away…
