Paul's Garden's a Legend

Intro

Paul in the dirt, he sings, heh

(oh-oh) watch it grow, watch it grow

Verse

He digs up moonbones, plants a bone blossom

Watered with mischief, roots wearing blossom-tassels

In the corner a corrupted kistune curls and grins (grins)

She sheds silver leaves, leaves that fold into wings

A cocktrice pecks the sunrise, shakes dust off like gold

A griffin naps on a fence post, folded wings, bold

Paul whistles low, soil answers back (come on)

His rows are a circus, a miracle and a knack

Pre-chorus

Hands like maps, fingers like keys

He grows strange things from strange histories

(oh-oh) he grows them up, up, up

Chorus

Paul's garden's a legend, a wild parade, yeah

Paul's garden's a legend, a wild parade, yeah

Paul's garden's a legend, a wild parade, yeah

Paul's garden's a legend — watch him play (watch him play)

Verse

Dominick's got a carrot and a bunny on loan

Pocket full of lint, and an empty freakin' plot of loam

No sheckles clinking, no fancy seeds to sow

Just a crooked little row and a sigh on the low (ah)

He stares at Paul's gate like a kid at a fair (ooh)

As a cocktrice laughs and a kistune flares her hair

Dominick tries to whistle, but the wind won't reply

He pats his single carrot and he asks the sky why

Pre-chorus

He's got heart, yeah, he's got the want

But the earth's gone quiet, the rent's a taunt

(uh-huh) he keeps on, keeps on, keeps on

Chorus

Paul's garden's a legend, a wild parade, yeah

Paul's garden's a legend, a wild parade, yeah

Paul's garden's a legend, a wild parade, yeah

Paul's garden's a legend — watch him play (watch him play)

Bridge

Maybe Dominick needs a borrowed seed, a borrowed tune

Maybe a laugh, a spare coin, a hand under the moon

But Paul keeps the gate open, grinning like a friend (friend)

He tosses down a seed and says, "Start again."

(heh) pull up your sleeves, feel the dirt, feel the skin

Plant a little trouble, let the mischief begin

Dominick digs with a grin, bunny presses close

A cocktrice in the distance gives a tiny boast

Chorus

Paul's garden's a legend, a wild parade, yeah

Paul's garden's a legend, a wild parade, yeah

Paul's garden's a legend, a wild parade, yeah

Paul's garden's a legend — watch him play (watch him play)

Outro

Oh-oh, watch it grow, watch it grow (watch it grow)

Paul and Dominick, laughing in the rows (ha-ha)

Grow on, grow on, grow on — yeah (grow on)
