House Full of Orchids

Lyrics

Sitting in your white room The sunlight shuffles in Waiting on that miserable bastard Our most merciful friend To feel your feet beneath you To have seen the wind Keep at least one eye on the moon Wear your pearls until the end And over and over and over they tell us That this is just what people do But someone has filled your house up with orchids And I hope there wasn't anything they forgot to say to you She never meant to leave the ocean There should always be champagne Tender green shoots are hanging down Gets so quiet when it rains The two of you in your convertible They had it so good, they said Charmed everyone at every dinner Now you're like a broken baby bird in your bed And over and over and over they tell us That this is just what people do And someone has filled your house up with orchids And I never thought this would happen to you
