Valley of One Thousand Perfumes Songtext
von Mary Timony

Why can′t you see
That the best part of me
Is a rocket of hope
After the third world war
But you are sadder than the setting sun
And more beautiful than anyone
Tell me when the fullest moon is due
And I will go swimming in you
When our cup runs over with rain
We will go insane
Don't give yourself away


There are too many others in pain
The peacock is bigger than the bumblebee
I see the color of his feathers on the shining sea
Don′t you know how much you mean to me?
It makes me want to kill myself peacefully
I walk in your valley of a thousand perfumes
I sing to your flower of perpetual bloom
Today our music doesn't have enough style
We're gonna run to the country farmer suicide
All I ever wanted was to talk to you
It′s all I really still want to do
