lyrics

The Garden
on the run from a smoking gun
I found rest and peace in the Garden
on the run from a smoking gun
I can smell the stench of revolution
are those the drums and guns that I can hear
we in the here and now will show no fear
on the run from a smoking gun
yes I found rest and peace in the Garden

every statue in the Garden speaks to me
with its story in mythology
we can all learn what there is to be
from these statues in mythology
every statue it speaks to me
with its story and all the glory of mythology

on the run from a smoking gun
I found love and peace in the auditorium
the opera singer bringing me to tears
her golden voice still ringing in my ears

give me crescendo
give me rocket
diminuendo
give me sigh

Apollo - he's the God of the Arts..
Ares - he's the God of War
Baccus - he's the God of Wine
Minerva - she's a goddess sublime

on the run from a smoking gun
the last performance it has just begun
the orchestra pit is empty now
no strings, no flutes, no cheering, leering crowds



a silver peacock chasing the grey man to the mountains and to the sun
restless rainbows silent serpents saw that one fools life was done
dancing dolphins dining on dragons gaudy roses moulding in lime
mystic Merlin stirring the potion casting spells back into time
then we’ll seek that pot of gold hearing tales of the unknown

on the run from a smoking gun
I found rest and peace in the Garden
on the run from a smoking gun
I can smell the stench of revolution
are those the drums and guns that I can hear
we in the here and now will show no fear
on the run from a smoking gun
yes I found rest and peace in the Garden

every statue in the Garden speaks to me
with its story in mythology
we can all learn what there is to be
from these statues in mythology
every statue it speaks to me
with its story and all the glory of mythology
