Safe in my Garden

And the descent of its nature slowly squares my room.
And it's parfume, leaks out and it's cousing me to swoon.
[repeats once]
("safe in my garden" repeatet in the background)
When you go out in the street, so many hassles with the heat.
Noone there can fill your desire.
Cop shouts in a megafone, telling people to stay inside their homes
man can't they see the worlds on fire?
(background singer stops)
somebody take us away, take us away.
take us away, take us somewhere.
Safe in my garden, an ancient flower blooms.
And the descent of its nature slowly squares my room.
And it's parfume, leaks out and it's cousing me to swoon.
