Jungle Gardenia Lyrics

It's burning downstairs

This coat wont save your skin

Like jungle gardenia

Watching this moment live within the TV screen

A sitcom would be nice

A silver tinsel static glow that greets you every night

It gets harder every day

Its nothing new, a worn out face

When somebody's lost it all

The pain remains, right as rain

Like jungle gardenia grows in a hot lake lodge

Melting magnolia, upright

Wont bend my spine held up with fishing line and a knife inside my pocket

So when I have to I can cut it

A rib cage made of chicken wire

Will it get me through this winter

Cause I don't got nothin better

If everything's as right as rain

I can't help myself only if to complain

A broken spine, realigned

I synthesize pain made of my own design

I hear you now, it's crystal clear

You brought me downstairs just to burn off my ear

In the furnace coals, I watch it glow

Burning charcoal, smokin Marlboro golds

Like animals

When the TV dies

Why'd everyone have to hide
