Dātura Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Passion vine, Texas sage
Indigo spires saliva (Get out of my garden)
Confederate jasmine
Royal cape plumbago
Areca palm, pygmy date palm (Garden)
Snow-on-the-mountain
Pink Powderpuff, Dātura
Crinum lily, St. Christopher lily (Garden)
Silver dollar eucalyptus
White African iris, white African iris (G-g-g-g-garden)
Katie's cham ruellia
Variegated shell ginger, Florida coontie, Dātura (Gar...)
Ming fern, sword fern, dianella
Walking iris, Chocolate cherries allamanda (Gar..., gar-gar-gar-gar-gar...)
Awabuki viburnum
[Bridge]
Is there room enough
For you to follow your heart
And not need more blood
From the tip of your star?
Is there room enough
For you to follow your heart
And not need more blood
From the tip of your star?
Passion vine, Texas sage
Indigo spires saliva (Get out of my garden)
Confederate jasmine
Royal cape plumbago
Areca palm, pygmy date palm (Garden)
Snow-on-the-mountain
Pink Powderpuff, Dātura
Crinum lily, St. Christopher lily (Garden)
Silver dollar eucalyptus
White African iris, white African iris (G-g-g-g-garden)
Katie's cham ruellia
Variegated shell ginger, Florida coontie, Dātura (Gar...)
Ming fern, sword fern, dianella
Walking iris, Chocolate cherries allamanda (Gar..., gar-gar-gar-gar-gar...)
Awabuki viburnum
[Bridge]
Is there room enough
For you to follow your heart
And not need more blood
From the tip of your star?
Is there room enough
For you to follow your heart
And not need more blood
From the tip of your star?
[Verse 2]
Walking iris, chocolate cherries allamanda
(Get out of my garden)
Awabuki viburnum, natal plum, black magic ti
Mexican bush sage, gumbo limbo, golden shrimp, Belize shrimp
Senna, weeping sabicu, golden shower tree, golden trumpet tree
Bird of paradise, come in
Variegated shell ginger, dātura, lonicera
Red velvet costus, Xanadu philodendron
Snow queen hibiscus, frangipani, frangipani
Bleeding heart, Persian shield
Cat's whiskers, royal palm
Sweet alyssum, petting bamboo
Orange jasmine
Clitoria blue pea
Downy jasmine
Dātura
Frangipani, frangipani

About
Genius Annotation
“Datura” comes from Tori Amos’s 1999 album To Venus and Back.
Datura is a plant with both toxic and hallucinogenic properties. The song is divided into two parts, the first with dense, fast piano instrumentation and the second a slower, more repetitive outro with emphasis on percussion. Both parts also have some electronic instrumentation.
