primrose-days
Mist in the morning
Magical warning
Cameras like dewdrops
Mystical psy-ops

Nobody looks at me
I'm on the run

High visibility
Under the gun

Spies and thieves
And detectives follow me
Lies and leaves
Choke the air below me

And the city
Fades into the haze
Lightning clouds for
Primrose days

I can't stop them
You won't help me
I don't know if
I am guilty

Stand forlorn
One last look
Rain comes on
Close my book

Spells, incantations
Dark dedications
Sunflower elation
White police station

Gardens are quickening
Animals stir

Flowers are sickening
Uniforms blur

Spies and thieves
And detectives follow me
Lies and leaves
Choke the air below me

And the city
Fades into the haze
Lightning clouds for
Primrose days

I can't stop them
You won't help me
I don't know if
I am guilty

Stand forlorn
One last look
Rain comes on
Close my book

Primrose Days

Paranoia on Primrose Hill. The flowers are spying on you. The trees are listening. Spooks everywhere. On the horizon, the city lies in wait. They're used to people like you around here and they humour your fears. But they won't miss you if you're taken.
