Lyrics
Join me in the garden
I am gardening today
To wield a crooked rake and rusty spade
As I uncoil the sleeping hose
Squirrels will away
And scurry up a branch in search of shade
Oregano colludes
With conspiracies of mint
And vagrant weeds proliferate and hide
Naked ladies bleed
And marigolds confess
And coriander smells like suicide
Coriander. Coriander.
Smells like suicide
Hollyhocks go withering
Hollow stalks remain
No eulogies for blossoms that have died.
Bougainvillea begs forgiveness
For the damage to my fence
And coriander smells like suicide.
Coriander, coriander
Coriander smells like suicide
