Orchid Girl

Lyrics

[Verse 1] What do you mean by beauty? Hope you know the consequences 'Cause beauty wounds will make us strong With truth we'll test our old defenses And all my friends will make amends They're green and grey and gold and groovy And reconciled they'll shake and smile Smile at me as though they knew me [Chorus] Judge this world through jaundiced eyes They're sold too soon and none too wise Their big blue God is in the sky Orchid girl, don't spend your money [Verse 2] They asked me what the meek would get Pictured me afraid to answer I told them that when thought's entombed Then love will show its root in cancer The sweet disorder in your eye Has drawn me here through graves and gardens I'm going in, you're going in, here are your smokes, your jokes You're getting soaked, I'm angry and my fists are pocketed [Chorus] We'll judge this world through jaundiced eyes We're sold too soon and none too wise The big blue God is in the sky He takes the blame and never cries But orchid girl, you'd make my day You'd blow their cloud of crap away If you would just refuse to pay Orchid girl, you'd make my day
