Patchouli

Music and Lyrics: Ariana Savalas

I see a creature dancing

Don't know what you are

So far away, so beautiful to me

Handsome lady, blushing sailor

With the soft, supple stubble of a bubble maker

In a sea of pansies, you're the scent

That tempts the world with your sweet indifference

Patchouli

And I know that you are used to something different

And I wish it made a difference to me

Please place the thimble on my finger

It longs to wrap around you

But I know another thread is going to linger

Climb the stairs to prick the spindle's stinger

And fall into a dream where things are never what they seem to be

Patchouli

And I know that you are used to something different

But in this moment something is different

This mushroom fades away too soon

Could I ever lift the veil to kiss my bridegroom

Or ask you to dream of me

Dreaming high
