Hangup In The Garden

lyrics

HANGUP IN THE GARDEN

there's a hangup in the garden
there's a heckler on the hill
there's a new moon it's a-comin'
with a thousand dollar bill

there's a rooster in the henhouse
with a presidential pardon
for the fires that he's startin'
there's a hangup in the garden

there's a recreation center
in backyard by the lake
there's a girl who's a pretender
being always on the take

there's a siren and it's soundin'
and the rain begins to harden
for all the passengers departin'
there's a hangup in the garden

it looks like the last known hypocrite
has met his match
and he bows in reverence
tending to the oil and the ash
and he thinks that he can fake it
takin' time to wage his catch
while his alter ego fills his shoes
with the stolen pony stash
thatt's what it is

there's a gypsy woman holding
some things she wants to sell
there's a river and it's folding
as far as i can tell

there's a caribbean mistress
and she's putting all her heart in
to places yet uncharted
there's a hangup in the garden

-4/19/07 (with tim parks)
