[A] You got a gazing globe - In your yard
You got a gazing globe - In your yard

[A] (spoken)
You got a gazing globe - In your yard - Garden full of garlic
Staring deep in the convex scenes - Your whole world tinted scarlet
Cant imagine how you managed to - Collect such fine perennials
Now youve got them grown in deep black tones and hybridize - You know you will.

(spoken)
It seems youve made their flower beds - In some form of ancient symbols
Are you waiting for someone who flies - Hip to this (your) floral lingo?
But I got no wings - So I miss these things - You might be trying to tell us
But the frogs and birds - Understand your words - Im left here kind of jealous.

[D] You got a gazing globe - gazing globe
You got a gazing globe - gazing globe

By the elaborate labyrinth - Layed out in polished stones
Theres a sign in darkest marble says Can ones path be known?

[C] No matter where you enter - Its so masterfully planned
Will I never reach the center - Though my minds convinced I can

[A] All the while - It seems like miles - Im mirrored in your vision
Your curiosity is piqued - Concerning my position.

The postal persons dying to know - Whats with these odd shaped boxes
From places no-one can pronounce - Suspiciously she watches ... You

[C] Receive your package silently - Unfazed by friendly banter
Shes retreating disappointedly - No closer to an answer.

[E] You save your only smile - For the compost pile
You save that only smile - For the compost pile

[A] When I leave your gate - Its pretty late - But youre still busy watching
And I give thanks too - For life forms who- [dodge patterns we get locked in](2x)

Distant neighbors wag their tongues - Wish you would whack your weeds
But you got big plans for potions - Herbal tricks right up your sleeve

[C] Your spiky looking iron fence - Offends their sense of sameness
While you - You curse their chem lawn And cringe at this insane mess.
Your magical botanicals - Take focused concentration
The way you stare just so - I swear you see em grow
Caring not how long it takes them

[D] You got a gazing globe- a gazing globe
You got a gazing globe- a gazing globe
