lyrics

Connor:

When the garden you tend dies
and the doors which lead inside
are locked and those who try
to talk their way in, lie

We were young, we were in love
wild, voodoo prancing punks
and you just knew she's headed up
and i just rode along for fun

As your time spins and sets
what you love you can forget
this i hope, i believe
it's insomnia fantasy

There's a time our garden bloomed
pubs, promotions, pregnant too
the big deal work that she would do
for Arcadia, but soon

they had scemes you can't believe
computers made from human beings
and the strange stuff they would need
babies, fetuses and things

As your time spins and sets
what you love you can forget
this i hope, i believe
it's insomnia fantasy

The rotting roots that you don't see
crawling allo about beneath
you love, you trust, believe

But those you know are just a step
to the baneful from the blessed
betrayed, you break that day

On the day our garden died
how i screamed and how i cried
how i begged her, but she sighed
and to their dark schemes gave our child

All those years ago i left
Amber's done fine, movied up since
now she leads them and i don't rest
i fight them with my every breath

So the years have come and gone
We've each had a child since, but
i suspect that they're in love
and i fear for what will come

As your time spins and sets
what you love you can forget
this i hope, i believe
it's insomnia fantasy

These days the teddy bear picnic is a rather somber affair. They mostly just sit together in silence. The beings who had taken these guises had over time lost all recollection of their origins, purpose, or selves. They only know they are someplace foreign, cut off from whatever homeland they once had, utterly alone in an incomprehensible world. Some picnics they listen to Paul Shapera. ... more
