Dātura Lyrics

[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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

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.
