lyrics
MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S SCENE
Petals and flowers...
In the park, getting dark, eating the heat.
There’s an eye in the sky, melting your feet.
You see a chick who starts to nick the petals and flowers.
She starts to joke and then provoke the Dance of the Hours.
It’s all down to a midsummer night’s scene.
It’s all down to a Shakespearean dream...
In her face there’s a place disfigured with love.
Her hands are white like the night encased in a glove.
She starts to swing and watches you nick/eunuch petals and flowers.
She starts to joke and then evokes the Dance of the Hours.
It’s all down to a midsummer night’s scene.
It’s all down to a Shakespearean dream...
Petals and flowers...
In the park, getting dark, eating the heat.
There’s an eye in the sky, melting your feet.
You see a chick who starts to nick the petals and flowers.
She starts to joke and then provoke the Dance of the Hours.
It’s all down to a midsummer night’s scene.
It’s all down to a Shakespearean dream...
