Moonflower Lyrics

Chain smoker
Moon flower
Mary's milk in the morning hour

Red hibiscus
Abscess
Rotted tooth's woody roots

Swollen tongue
Foul mood
Lousy head
Of a strange brood

Nothing had ever been mine
Nothing had ever been mine

Odd bedfellows
Itinerant lovers
Errant hearts
Fallen nature's
Four foul humors
Crimes of passion, betrayal
By clever omission

Love and hate
Aren't far apart
Sometimes they intertwine
Rarest flowers
Bloom and wilt
By their uncommon time

Like opposite words that rhyme
Share something all the same
Jesus Christ, Lucifer
They differ but in name

Chain smoker
Moon flower
Spider's silk in the twilight hour

Devil's trumpets out in the night
When the moon flower blooms at its heights
When the moon flower blooms
