Lyrics The Tear Garden

The Tear Garden

Perforated Man

This is our dear lord at heaven's gate

See the wings upon his ankles

Here's the chariot

The angels five long years but worth the wait

Further down you have the serpent

I'm the master he's the servant

I keep him caged because he's nervous

For the dragon sleeps below

Far down below

This one is for my sweet beloved

Died at childbirth undiscovered

This one's why I'm here

I suffered covered every wall with tears

Now there's nothing left to see

Tell your children you met me

The perforated man

Don't spring your camera

While I flee

A picture's all I can bequeath

You wont be disappointed I guarantee

Tell your children you met me

The perforated man
