lyrics

Nurture the seed of doubt in my mind
Cold breath of death comes from behind
Grow one direction tied to a line
Valentine asinine

And when the magpies hop across the garden
Chattering secrets to you
And when the fertile soil begins to harden
What is a nightshade to do?

(Lie in the bed)
I have sown
(And all you said)
I’ve grown, I’ve grown
(Don’t dig it up
The dead man begged)

Expose the roots and give it a push
Creeping sensation season’s up
To see a flourish there must be cuts
For the reasons discussed

Spot the starlings swooping from the sky
And with some luck they come near
Missing the cost that they expend to try
Singing the words you don’t hear

(Lie in the bed)
I have sown
(And all you said)
I’ve grown, I’ve grown
(Don’t dig it up
The dead man begged)

(Lie in the bed)
I have sown
(And all you said)
I’ve grown, I’ve grown
(Don’t dig it up
The dead man begged)
