lyrics

I've got these orchids, it's hard to know
If they're lost or can still grow
I'm not the kind to lose hope
I water them and I speak in soft tones

She sits there with a cloud over her head
She's like a cartoon with the speech bubble left unsaid
I'm not the kind to lay down and play dead
I wear perfume and I speak in soft tones

Me and the orchids are doing just fine
One on water and one on cheap wine
Only one of these liquids will ever put a thing right
It'll never put a thing right

Even the petals reproach with their colours of pearl
What they think I'll never, never know
I kept an orchid upstairs it never gave up
A flower unfurled, even left alone…

Me and the orchids are doing just fine
One on water and one on cheap wine
Only one of these liquids will ever put a thing right
It'll never put a thing right
