LYRICS:
ORANGE BLOSSOMS
Orange blossoms at the end of the world
Perfumed cloud that seeps into my room
I am one with the cloud, breathing in and out
We are so rich with the blossoms
Nature is holding our hands and whispering
Now is the time
-
now is the time to dance
Hummingbirds, mosquitoes, the parrots and the beetles,
The bees and the moths and the bats
Nectar on their faces, pollen on their asses
Flying across the desert to stick their tongues down some cactuses
Wake up
in the morning all sticky and ecstatic in a cave
We are so rich with the blossoms
Nature is holding our hands and whispering
Now is the time, and don’t let your chance go to waste
The show will go on
We throw this party every year
Whether or not you humans are
here
I see you flirting with destruction and despair
Cozying up to tyrants
Embracing the easiest answers
Fascism ties it all up in a pretty little bow
Cause we all know how the action movie goes
But back in the real, real world
We are standing on the precipice
And every single soul on this spinning globe
Is captive to this dick-measuring contest
I am drinking in these blooms
While annihilation looms
I see you starving in basements
And bleeding in ditches
Meanwhile, we continuously offer these riches
Orange blossoms at the end of the world
