Perfume Garden |
| You can shake your hips, you can seal your lips |
| I can make that trip |
| And all life’s fears could invade my ears |
| I can handle it |
| I can call on a friend and remember the faces |
| We wore at school |
| Making the madness and solitary sadness |
| A friendly fool |
| I thought of stories they told us long ago |
| Of how the world was a perfume garden |
| I haven’t yet learned to tame the creature there |
| And that at least I think is something good |
| All across the town and across the street |
| You could feel the heat |
| Let me tell you, friend, they could hardly wait |
| To mark your sheet |
| It was maximum joy for the men they employed |
| To hold you down |
| Well, I hope now you know that this isn’t the bliss |
| That you thought you’d found |
| Endless emptiness, endless ringing bells |
| I couldn’t show you but I’d hoped to one day |
| A pretty promise to teach the tender child |
| To welcome madness every Monday |
| Beck-beck-beckon the call |
| Didn’t seem to matter at all |
| Beck-beck-beckon the call |
| Told us how to conquer it all |
| Beck-beck-beckon the call |
| Didn’t seem to matter at all |
| Beck-beck-beckon the call |
| Told us how to conquer it all |
| You can shake your hips, you can seal your lips |
| I can make that trip |
| And all life’s fears could invade my ears |
| I can handle it |
| I can call on a friend, I can laugh with friends |
| That I’ve known since school |
| Making the madness and solitary sadness |
| A friendly fool |
| Beck-beck-beckon the call |
| They taught us how to conquer it all |
| Beck-beck-beckon the call |
| These children have nothing at all |
| Listening hard for the voice of the child |
| I thought I heard an alarm bell ringing |
| Pulled from my sleep by invisible hands |
| The gentle sound of a lady singing |
| Listening hard for the voice of the child |
| I thought I heard an alarm bell ringing |
| Pulled from my sleep by invisible hands |
| The gentle sound of a lady singing |
