So much depends on first loves and friends   Legs for a table   I, I painted my room with judgments and doom   I still ain't able to sleep      Got to sleep and dream up some dreams I can keep   Oh my, my marigold, marigold      When I was walking at dawn when something turned on   But I couldn't name it   So I, I went back home, I did it alone   I couldn't claim it      I tried, yes I tried, I tried honey I was denied   Oh my, my marigold, marigold      Everything becomes much more meaningless   As time passes by   So I hide in the bedroom with strong curtains drawn   So I can't look the world in the eye      I heard you were well, I heard that you fell   Back on your feet   Me, I'm still in fear, I planted her here   Right in the street      To sleep, so she sleeps and dreams with the orphans and freaks   Oh my, my marigold, marigold      And talk, talk it is cheap, i talk in my sleep   I know what to say   I said, I said you were wise to let go of my eyes   And push me away      And run, yes you run, you run honey nothing gets done   Oh my, my marigold, marigold      All that I've learned   It must be a chemical change   After all I'm no different from the next twisted talker   Who's taking his lies to the grave      I, I wasn't myself, I was nobody else   That I couldn't be   Like you were nobody too to somebody   Who's exactly like me      So sleep, let her sleep and dream up some dreams we can keep   Oh my, my marigold, marigold   My, my marigold, marigold
