You know you're all alone Your friends they aren't at home Everybody's gone to the garden As you look into the trees You can look but you don't see The flowers seem to tease you at the garden Everybody's there, but you don't seem to care What's it with you man, and this garden Turned into my worst phobia A crazy man's utopia If you're lost no one can show ya But it sure was glad to know ya Only poor boys take a chance On the garden's song and dance Feel her flowers as they wrap around But only smart boys do without You can find it all inside No need to wrestle with your pride No you ain't losin' your mind You're just in the garden They can lead you to yourself Or you can throw it on the shelf But you know you can look inside For the garden I wasn't really scared Lost my virginity there To a gypsy with blond hair But now no one seems to care Like a mouse inside a maze Wandering 'round four days With a smile upon my face I never want to leave this place Only poor boys take a chance On the garden's song and dance Feel her flowers as they wrap around But only smart boys do without Turned into my worst phobia A crazy man's utopia If you're lost no one can show ya But it sure was glad to know ya Bye bye So long, bye bye It's glad to know ya Bye bye Bye bye Aw...so long
