Tropic of Cancer Lyrics by Lace Curtains

The Garden of Joy and the Well of Loneliness

2012

[Verse 1]
Stare at the sun too long, you'll be making a meal out of dandelions
Staying at mom's house on a heavy dose of antibiotics
The sunspots you get are from the days of sunshine
On a date in the Tropic of Cancer with a Gemini
[Chorus]
Good morning, cruel world
Nature is nothing special
Non-nature isn't any better
There is no paradise in this place of ash and light
Good intentions turn to blight
Oh, how I wish that it would fade away
[Verse 2]
The beach is just a line of sand next to water that you can't drink
Disguised as something bland, hidden beneath lies something obscene
Driving around L.A. with a dog with one eye
Totally wrecked on MDMA trying to hide from the sky
[Chorus]
Good morning, cruel world
Nature is nothing special
Non-nature isn't any better
There is no paradise in this place of ash and light
Good intentions turn to blight
Oh, how I wish that it would fade away
