Lyrics for Gardening at Night

I see your money on the floor I felt the pocket change though all The feelings that broke through that door just didn't seem to be too real The yard is nothing but a fence the sun just hurts my eyes somewhere It must be time for penitence gardening at night it's never worked Gardening at night Gardening at night Gardening at night The neighbors go to bed at ten Call the prayer line for a change The charge is changing every month They said it couldn't be arranged We echoed up the garbage sound but they were busy in the rows We fell up not to see the sun gardening at night just didn't grow I see your money on the floor I felt the pocket change though all The feelings that broke through that door just didn't seem to be too real Gardening at night Gardening at night Gardening at night Your sister said that you're too young She should know she's been there twice The call was two and fifty-one They said it couldn't be arranged We echoed up the garbage sound but they were busy in the rows We fell up not to see the sun gardening at night just didn't grow The yard is nothing but a fence the sun just hurts my eyes somewhere It must be time for penitence gardening at night it's never worked Gardening at night Gardening at night Gardening at night
