"Slugs In The Marigolds" lyrics

Sometimes I think my skull's just chicken wire
Carrying a thought like contraband
I land like an alien
But Shelley says, still, you've got to live with people

And Mary's gonna cry
Who's gonna talk her down this time?
Give her good advice
But she won't take the medicine
This time, go away
Go away
Go away

Slugs in the marigolds
You can get yourself drunk on anything
Or sober up and settle down
And shuffle through the day
Trying to live with people

And now you're gonna cry
Who's gonna talk you down this time?
Look into my eyes
Shell pink and baby blue
I think you'll listen one day
One day

Given good advice
Shelley says she'll come around in time
Do what you like
But she won't take the medicine this time
Go away
Go away
Go away

Mama's gonna cry
Papa's gonna cry
