Aztec Camera - Orchid Girl lyrics

Words and music by roddy frame What do you mean by beauty lain I hope you know the consequences 'cos beauty wounds will make us strong With truth we'll test our old defenses And all my friends will make amends They're green and grey and gold and groovy And reconciled they'll shake and smile Smile at me as though they knew me And judge this world through jaundiced eyes They're sold too soon and none too wise Their big blue god is in the sky Orchid girl don't spend your money They asked me what the meek would get Pictured me afraid to answer I told them that when thought's entombed Then love will show it's root in cancer The sweet disorder in your eye Has drawn me here through graves and gardens I'm going in you're going in here are your smokes Your jokes you're getting soaked i'm angry and my Fists are pocketed We'll judge this world through jaundiced eyes We're sold too soon and none too wise The big blue god is in the sky He takes the blame and never cries But orchid girl you'd make my day You'd blow their cloud of crap away If you would just refuse to pay Orchid girl you'd make my day
