Safe In My Garden - The Mamas & The Papas

Safe in my garden

An ancient flower blooms

And the scent from its nature

Slowly squares my room;

And its perfume being such

That it’s causing me to swoon

Could it be we were hot-wired?

(Safe in my garden, an ancient flower blooms…)

Late one night;

we’re very tired

They stole our minds and thought we’ve never know it

(And the scent from its nature slowly squares my room…)

With a bottle in each hand;

too late to try to understand

We don’t care where it lands---we just throw it

Somebody take us away…

Somebody take us away…

Safe in my garden

(Could it be we were hot-wired; late one night we’re very tired…)

An ancient flower blooms

(They stole our minds and thought we’ve never know it…)

And the scent from its nature

(With a bottle in each hand; too late to try to understand…)

Slowly squares my room

(We don’t care where it lands---we just throw it…)

(Somebody take us away…)

And it’s perfume being such

That it’s causing me to swoon

When you go out in the street

So many hassles with the heat;

No one there can fill your desire

Cops out with the megaphones

Telling people stay inside their home

Man, can’t they see the world’s on fire?

Somebody take us away… take us away…

Safe in our garden

An ancient flower blooms

And the scent from its nature…

(Cops out with the megaphones;

Tellin' people stay inside their homes.)

Man, the world’s on fire.)

Slowly squares my room

Take us away… take us away…
