The Mountain Goats — The Garden Song

[Intro: spoken sample] Where's Spike when you need him? Huh? I'm warning you You? Warning me? Cut it out! [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Outro] 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
