Gardenia Lyrics


I kinda like the way you dot your J's
with giant circles of naivety
the kind of circles include everythingdon't mean to damn you with the faintest praise
it's just a symptom of the blithe age
If Walt were living he would be amazedso you got some curb appeal
but can you cook a 3 course meal
or are you just a present waiting to be opened up and parceled out again heywell you are a gardenia
pressed in the campaign journal
in the rucksack of an Afrikaner candidate for mild reformit's like we're at a ponzi scaminar
there's no escaping without a door prize
they're operating at significant lossand now the way you watch your weight
Richard Avedon
Richard Avedon would
Richard Avedon would surely approveso much for your curb appeal
and so much for the 3 course meals
cause I am not a present waiting to be opened up and parceled out againwell the torture of the
Van Wyck express way at 5 pm on Friday gives you some idea of how rejection makes me feelwell you are a gardenia
well you are a gardenia

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
