Garden of Delights

I see the lights move on the ceiling.
I see the stars up in the lights.
I see the moonbeams on your forehead, there.
And I think about the garden of delights.

You see the curtains draped in front of me.
You see the sun come up alone.
You want to show me just what you can see.
And I, I turn away.

You see my face, you hate my words, I hate you, too.
You see my heart, it likes the feeling that it gets when I’m with you.

I look right at your eyes, I look right through your eyes.
I change conversation thought for you.
I throw a look that you can’t catch from far behind.
And you, you turn away.

You are my Jesus boy, you’re laying on a bedly cross.
I’ve got you taped up to the wall.
But really, don’t feel bad ‘cause you do to me
All the things I do to you, I do to you.

I see the lights move on the ceiling.
I see the stars up in the lights.
I see the moonbeams on your forehead, there.
And I think about the garden of delights.


here, in lisa's own words, the meaning of this song:

"We have so much fun playing this. It was one of the first songs I ever wrote. It goes between being kind and playful to really harsh. It shows how people play games with each other."
