beautiful delirium

i felt like dead flowers in a vase

which somebody forgot to throw away

still standing here on public display

all wilted and decayed

wilted by darkness

wilted by thirst

wilted by darkness

wilted by thirst

and then you came

you said i was a piece of art

wild

complex and dark

you called me a magical bouquet

with opium poppy and wolfsbane

thorny roses and nerium

such a beautiful delirium

i felt like dead flowers in a vase

badly and sadly arranged

hanging low in full disgrace

all wilted and strange

wilted by darkness

wilted by thirst

wilted by darkness

wilted by thirst

and then you came

you said i was a piece of art

wild

complex and dark

you called me a magical bouquet

with opium poppy and wolfsbane

thorny roses and nerium

such a beautiful delirium

you said i was a piece of art

wild

complex and dark

you called me a magical bouquet

with opium poppy and wolfsbane

you said i looked like a painting

mysterious and fascinating

you called me a magical bouquet

with hemlock and deadly nightshade

thorn apple and lily of the valley

quite unusual

quite uncanny

thorny roses and nerium

such a beautiful delirium
