people drank and swayed as you stood up there

and oscillated your hands over the surface of the synthesizer

Ambience

all I heard was the thereminEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I heard that as I boarded the subwayEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

and I thought about an orchidEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

You resembled an orchid.

An orchid, save my soul.

And so was I.

I went and saw you again playing the back alley

and you did it a cappella while people shrieked from their acid trips

Sad

and all I heard was your voiceEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

and I heard them as I fell onto the pavementAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

and I thought I saw an orchidEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAA

You still resembled an orchid.

An orchid, save my soul.

And so was I.

I bought the paper because it was routine

I read you had vanished, but your face was on the page

Smile

and all I heard was my voiceAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

and then I pictured the fireworksOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAOOOO

they looked like orchidsAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

You didn't resemble an orchid.

An orchid, save my soul.

And so was I.

I pulled over on the highway, I saw a ghost

He got in the car and it was so cold, I thought about my disbelief

Disappointment.

I looked in the rearview mirror, I saw a ghost

Its hand were big and nimble, its head a large inflorescence

Pretty

and I heard the thereminEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

the fireworks in my headOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOO

and our voices.

You resembled an orchid.

An orchid, save my soul.

An orchid, save my soul.

An orchid, save my soul.

And so was I.
