In the Garden

Well the botanist and the astrophysicist
 Got into a terrible fight
 The flowers trembled and some stars fell from the sky
 And the snakes watched silently, the bees imperious
 From their place in the divine
 As ambitious noise from urban toys
 Bothered paradise again
 In the garden
 The world is still a tree
 In the garden
 The lilies in the field
 In the garden
 Consider you and me
 Well, my three-masted schooner was loaded for sea
 With a load of lumber to trade for tea
 But the harbormaster said your passage is not free
 Then the breeze blew in from SMC
 And the quad was filled with brilliant teens
 Drawing fabulous fire through invisible wire
 And I joined them in the trees
 In the garden
 The world is still a tree
 In the garden
 The lilies in the field
 In the garden
 Consider you and me
 CO2 is bringing weather like this town has never seen
 October thunderheads are black and red on sunset in a dream
 Two Angelinos in gray hoodies are jacked up about the rain
 The farmer's market in EP has an organic ex-Marine
 He sorely wants to meet my dad and talk of 1953
 Now all ye hunters and ye gatherers prepare
 For wild blue wandering
 Wild blue wandering
