Safe In My Garden
Composer(s): John Phillips
Performer(s): The Mamas & The Papas



Safe in my garden 
An ancient flower blooms 
And the scent from its nature 
Slowly squares my room 
And its perfume means such 
That it's causing me to swoon 
Safe in my garden 
(Could it be, we were hot-wired? Late one night while very tired) 
An ancient flower blooms 
(They stole our minds and thought we'd never know it) 
And the scent from its nature 
(With a bottle in each hand, to late to try to understand) 
We don't care where it lands we just throw it
(Slowly squares my room) 
Somebody take us away
Somebody take us away
Safe in my garden 
(Could it be we were hot-wired late one night were very tired) 
An ancient flower blooms 
(They stole our minds and thought we'd never know it) 
And the scent from its nature 
(With a bottle in each hand, to late to try to understand) 
Slowly squares my room 
(We don't care where it lands we just throw it) 
(Somebody take us away) 
And its perfume means such 
(Somebody take us away) 
That it's causing me to swoon 
(Safe in my garden) 
When you go out in the street 
So many hassles with the heat 
(An ancient flower blooms) 
No one there can fill your desire 
(And the scent from its nature) 
Cops out with the megaphones 
Telling people stay inside their homes 
(Slowly squares my room) 
Man, can't they see the world's on fire? 
Somebody take us away 
Take us away 
Safe in our garden 
An ancient flower blooms 
And the scent from its nature 
(Cops out with the megaphones, telling people stay inside their homes) 
Man, the world's on fire 
(Slowly squares our room) 
Take us away 
Take us away
