lyrics

A wallflower’s climbing the walls  
unable to touch the Dancing Dolls. 
He may as well be in an African desert  
devoid of shade, devoid of water.  
He’ll go home and sit by the windowsill, 
for plenty of light will be needed  to heal a wilted ego.

Tepid water will seep to the roots  
releasing daydreams in the air.
Plant parallels sowing. 
Are these plant parallels growing,
growing inside this mind?   

I’ll be the poet who sits near the lake  
and paints pictures with a Scarlet Brush,  
who falls in love with his own reflection 
and unafraid of trees,  
I’ll have hair like a Boston Fern  
and I am never dormant.

I’ll awake not for the world.  
Maybe I’ll bloom in December.  

Plant parallels sowing.  
Are these plant parallels growing?  
You can see the Dancing Dolls  
there by the Silver Tree.  
Are these plant parallels growing,  
Growing inside this mind?

Heather, Erika, Rosa baby, Busy Lizzy, Amazon Lily 
break their petals to sneak out of the green house  
to see the poet who sits near the lake.  
And Creeping Charlie’s Impatient to tell.  
They hope he’ll slip on the Moss on the rocks and die.

I’ll awake not for the world.  
Maybe I’ll bloom in December.  
Plant parallels sowing.  Are these plant parallels growing? You can see the Dancing Dolls there by the Silver Tree.  Are these plant parallels growing,  
Growing inside this mind?
