Dangerous Flowers

Beware the dangerous flowers

Growing higher every hour

They creep along their vines

They creep into your mind

I can deal with their thorns

I can handle all their pollen

But I get so confused

When the spirits come a-calling

Dangerous Flowers … Dangerous Flowers

Dangerous Flowers … Dangerous Flowers

The ladies turn their heads

When they smell their sweet perfume

Their colors fill their eyes

And their scent fills up the room

So they have a little smoke

Or they drink a cup of tea

And what happens next – who knows?

Just like the Eleusinian mysteries…

Dangerous Flowers … Dangerous Flowers

Dangerous Flowers … Dangerous Flowers

If you feel abandoned

You’re lonely and you’re blue

That’s when the dangerous flowers

Might get ahold of you

They can make people happy

Or take away their pain

But it’s a dangerous game to let those flowers

Control what’s in your brain

Dangerous Flowers … Dangerous Flowers

Dangerous Flowers … Dangerous Flowers

We need to protect ourselves

Against this natural scourge

And if one should ever swallow

That’s when they must purge

We need public education

Fried eggs on late-night TV

We need to defend the nation

As the flowers attack humanity

Dangerous Flowers … Dangerous Flowers

Dangerous Flowers … Dangerous Flowers

The gangsters love to grow them

And bring them to our shores

They give them to bad hombres

Who then bring us some more

I’m for law and order

We must protect the southern border

We must keep those dangerous Mexicans

From ever becoming American citizens

Dangerous Flowers … Dangerous Flowers

Dangerous Flowers … Dangerous Flowers
