(michelle lewis)



Drawn by your colors i could scale the garden wall

Past the "don't enter" signs and trying not to fall (and break my neck)

I should pick roses but i can't do as i am told

And you look so pretty in the light i want a bunch to hold



Watch each step i take so carefully

'cause one false move and you're screamin'

Don't tread on me, don't tread on me, no



Mr. marigold, i want your hand to hold

But the farmer's daughter's chasing me away



Laying my head down in a patch of orange and green

The smell in the air is strong, still i can't make myself leave

You're my temptation 'cause those petals look so sweet

I thought you were gentle but you're not

And you're poisonous to eat



Caught green-handed trying to sneak you out

With yellow on my chin and a stem in my mouth

Then i whispered too loudly



Mr. marigold, i want your hand to hold

But the farmer's daughter's chasing me away

And i want my soul again, i want my heart to mend

But mr. marigold won't let me stay



Woohoowoohoo...



I watch each step i take so carefully, carefully

'cause one false move and you're screamin'

Don't tread on me, don't tread on me, no



Mr. marigold i want your hand to hold

But the farmer's daughter's chasing me away

I want my soul again, i want my heart to mend

But mr. marigold, mr. marigold



Oh mr. marigold, i want your hand to hold

But the farmer's daughter's chasing me away

I want my soul again i want my heart to mend

But mr. marigold, mr. marigold...
