The Chameleons Perfume Garden Lyrics

You can shake your hips,you can seal your lips, i can't make that trip
And all lifes fears could invade my ears, i can handle it

I can call on a friend and remember the faces we wore at school
Making the madness and solitary sadness, a friendly fool
I thought of stories they told us long ago
Of how the world was a perfume garden
I haven't yet learned to tame the creature there
And that at least i think is something good

All across the town and across the street, you could feel theheat
Let me tell you friend,they could hardly wait to mark yoursheet
It was maximum joy for the men they employed, to hold you down
Well i hope now you know that this isn't the bliss that youthought you'd found
Endless emtpiness, endless ringing bells
I couldn't show you but i'd hoped to one day
A pretty promise to teach the tender child
To welcome madness every Monday

Beck beck beck and call
Didn't seem to matter at all
Beck beck beck and call
Told us how to conquer it all
Beck beck beck and call
Didn't seem to matter at all
Beck beck beck and call
Told us how to conquer it all

You can shake your hips,you can seal your lips, i can't make thattrip
And all lifes fears could invade my ears, i can handle it

I can call on a friend, i can laugh with a friend that i knowfrom school
Making the madness and solitary sadness, a friendly fool

Beck beck beck and call
They taught us how to conquer it all
Beck beck beck and call
These children have nothing at all

Listening hard for the voice of the child
I thought i heard an alarm bell ringing
Pulled from my sleep by invisible hands
The gentle sound of a lady singing

Puedes mover tus caderas
Puedes sellar tus labios
No puedo hacer ese viaje

Y todos los miedos de la vida
Pueden invadir mis oidos
No puedo aferrarlo

Puedo reir con un amigo
Y recordar las caras
Que teniamos en la escuela

Creando la locura
Y la tristeza solitaria
Un loco amistoso

Pensé en las historias
Que nos contaron hace mucho
De como el mundo era un jardín de perfume
Aun no he domado la criatura alli
Y que al menos creo que es algo bueno

A traves de toda la ciudad
Y a traves de la calle
Podrias sentir el calor

Dejame decirte, amigo
Ellos pueden esperar pacientemente
A encadenar tus pies

Ahora es la maxima diversion
Para los hombres que ellos emplean
Para oprimirte

Bien, espero que ahora sepas
Que esta no es la ceguera
Que pensabas haber encontrado

Interminable vacio
Interminable resonar de campanas
No podria enseñarte
Pero espero que un dia
Las preciosas promesas para enseñar a los tiernos niños
A dar la bienvenida a la locura cada lunes

Disposición
No parece importar demaisado
Disposicion
Nos contaste como conquistarlo todo
Disposicion
Estos niños no tienen absolutamente nada

Escucha con mucha atencion
Por la voz de un niño
Pense que escuchaba
El resonar de una alarma de camapana
Arrancado de mi sueño
Por manos invisibles
El sonido distante de una dama cantando
