These pink, pink peonies brush me softly,

I think I’m falling,

Mama, am I ready for love?

Just two or three of these would be lucky

But I’m in a forest

That’s telling me I could be loved

(Could I be loved?)

Follow the fear and the first time you feel it you open your heart to me,

Like you are,

Worthy,

Cos you are,

Worthy

They’re gonna cheer and you’ll know that you’re here because here we are all the same,

You’ll always be,

Worthy,

Worthy.

These little peonies keep on catching

No need to snatch them

You get what you give, and you give what you get

They’re in my eyes

They’re in my mouth

They’re in my ears

They’re spilling out

I think I might be photosynthesizing

How very striking

Follow the fear and the first time you feel it you open your heart to me,

Like you are,

Worthy,

Cos you are,

Worthy

They’re gonna cheer and you’ll know that you’re here because here we are all the same,

You’ll always be,

Worthy,

Worthy.

Petals in your lashes,

Try not to blink too fast,

You will get used to this,

Pollen in your ashes,

Nectar instead of blood,

Join us in anthesis.

Follow the fear and the first time you feel it you open your heart to me,

Like you are,

Worthy,

Cos you are,

Worthy

They’re gonna cheer and you’ll know that you’re here because here we are all the same,

You’ll always be,

Worthy,

Worthy.
