lyrics

Peppermint Garden

In the air there’s a taste like candy,
a chemical sense of the place
Everything’s shiny and everything’s green,
and the sun is still burning late in the evening,
and we laugh at the morning, in a peppermint garden.

The clashing of tigers-swallowtail butterflies
dancing in gyres, spinning in circles on the wings of delight,
high on the heels of desire, running rings round your head,
flashing from lavender flower to flower.
You saved them impaled on a pin,
formaldehyde and a bottle of gin,
in the garden, in a peppermint garden.

That’s the way it is, and it’s never going to change,
in the garden.

I knew a girl, she was Chaos, she had a boyfriend,
let’s call him Sin. They drank herb in the morning,
and played out their youth in a dream,
and they never did nothing worth writing home,
and they never gave in, they just wrote off disaster.
That’s how love’s always been, in the garden,
in a peppermint garden.
