An Orchid Is a Flower That Thrives on Neglect

You want to be a good boy, so tonight you’re staying home
But there’s no house in this hotel and you can’t afford to phone
A girl that claims to love you, but rarely sleeps alone
Still you don’t mind, you’re used to lies, you’ve read the
Papers all your life
Still your feelings thrive — like an orchid, like an orchid
Still your feelings thrive: like an orchid on neglect
Still your feelings thrive — like an orchid, like an orchid
Still your feelings thrive: like an orchid on neglect
Your body is your temple, your mind is it’s high priest
He’s feasting on the tribute your order has received
Though Guilt does point a finger, he knows he can’t complete
You tell your girl you want to change, she kisses you and leaves
Still your feelings thrive — like an orchid, like an orchid
Still your feelings thrive: like an orchid on neglect
You trade your flower of life for an orchid, for an orchid…
And wonder how much time will the orchid bloom instead
Still your feelings thrive — like an orchid, like an orchid
Still your feelings thrive: like an orchid on neglect
You trade your flower of life for an orchid, for an orchid…
And wonder how much time will the orchid bloom instead
