lyrics

I’ll lend you that botanical book I read
It’s kind of like what Cicero said
I used to smoke in my room,
the plants would soak up the fumes
But I quit for the ones in my chest

I reckon I’m as happy as I’ll ever be
When I’m spinning my green Mort Garson LP
There’s not a thought in my mind
Forget the concept of time
When I’m just hanging out with my cheeseplant
Kicking back with my moneyplant, baby

And if my world comes crashing down on me
I’ll have my beautiful chlorophyll oracle showing me how to be
And if the rains come pouring down on me
What’s negativity for when all that shit is manure
And I’m just soaking up rays from the sun that adores me

I’m compost mentis
You don’t have to believe that they speak, but I’m the houseplants’ apprentice

I’ll lend you that botanical book I read
I hung Marianne’s paintings over my bed
I used to smoke in my room
Put out that good CO2
But I quit cos it was wilting my chest, yes, yes
