[Verse 1]
The animals don't follow there
There are only animal skeletons there
Welcome, no expensive tickets
Back out before 12 o'clock
Where they get visits some nights
In a million pretty palettes
In the flowerbeds they run and fall
They imagine concrete
Usual nights, except no one knows anymore
You can look at the pond, have to pay for pools
Nothing you're standing on is of usual terrain
So I hide and make it a habit when it closes
Join me on an evening- or daytrip
We can look at weed in a cannabis cage
You can still hear people and cars
Inbetween butterflies, bushes and nature
Sniff the pink rhododendron
But you mustn't walk on the rocks
Then a part-time guard could scold you
And speak to you as if it's something you should expect
No people here when it rains, but
That's just a benefit for the trees
They have stuff they want to say too
And it's sometimes awful to decode
[Chorus]
Botanical garden, botanic-tanic
Botanical garden
All year round, daily habit
Botanical garden, botanic-magic
Botanical garden, there's nothing like our dyad
[Verse 2]
Here it doesn't get better or worse
We leave everything in front of the fence
Carrying nothing in the chest nor heart
No one can take blame
There's no hero to ask
If you against probability should dare
And during the night the tops get bigger
The rest loses all its idyll
There are all the clones that were cloned from clones
All the lawns get trimmed into pretty formations
Up on the roofs there are angels and demons
They're reflecting in the reflections of people's egos
Come an look back to the present
Or we can dig up a meal
Run back out with grass stains on our hands
Before those roots disappear with a season
Way in the middle there are glass cages
Where they have captured all the climates
But it's like cake without icing
Let's just stick to the paradigms
Or try to bite over the stigmas
But that can't happen in the garden
Can't pay attention to it if it isn't perfect
Smiling with crushed ice in the stomach
[Chorus]
Botanical garden, botanic-tanic
Botanical garden
All year round, daily habit
Botanical garden, botanic-magic
Botanical garden, there's nothing like our dyad
[Verse 3]
Nobody here has any interest in if the wallet
Is fasting or starting to get fat
You can swap everything you doubt for everything you know
Let your eyelids fall under some oak
(collect pine nuts)
Or just forget that you're going to die and that you're alive
Without expecting any honor or praise
Because it's not you who lives here (no)
Here you can just become dirt (ey)
There's no talk here about being a woman or man
Of your word cause it's best to stay silent
Everything is dark and nothing is lit
And in the dusk the clouds look like amethysts
(and bird chirps)
Dancing between the trunks in a t(h)ree-beat scale
Just you wait until the pictures are completely developed
But it's not you who lives here, no
Nothing is how you think
[Chorus]
Botanical garden, botanic-tanic
Botanical garden
All year round, daily habit
Botanical garden, botanic-magic
Botanical garden, there's nothing like our dyad
Botanical garden, botanic-tanic
Botanical garden
All year round, daily habit
Botanical garden, botanic-magic
Botanical garden, there's nothing like our dyad
