Patchouli

[Instrumental Intro] ... [Instrumental Interlude] ... (Patchouli) [Verse 1] Patchouli ghosts in the back of my brain, (Patchouli) Dead ninjas wear it like a sad champagne. (brain) Selling mushrooms with a grin that’s cracked, (Patchouli) In a swap meet haze where the skunks react. (cracked) [Verse 2] 70s dirt and incense scars, (Patchouli) Licking the wheels of abandoned cars. (scars) It’s a sidewalk sermon, a stench in disguise, (Patchouli) Patchouli crawls where the neon dies. (disguise) [Chorus] Patchouli's burnin', lightin' up the night, (Patchouli) Funk so heavy, y'all don’t feel right. (night) Shake it off, drift away, leave the scent behind, (Patchouli) Patchouli shadow, you’re smellin' my mind. (behind) [Instrumental Bridge] ... "Patchouli" (Patchouli) [Verse 3] Do skunks eat patchouli? They probably do, (Patchouli) Mix it with ozone and some mushroom stew. (do) Earth oils dripping on a thrift store floor, (Patchouli) I’m breathing fresh air and slamming the door. (floor) [Chorus] Patchouli’s burnin’, yeah, it’s takin’ its toll, (Patchouli) Skunk funk risin’, creepin’ into my soul. (toll) Get it out my head, get it out my air, (Patchouli) Patchouli Mutha Funka? Nah, I don’t care. (air) [Verse 4] Dead ninjas rising in a foggy groove, (Patchouli) Patchouli drumming, can’t catch my mood. (groove) A mushroom seller whispers in the air, (Patchouli) But I’m stepping sideways, like I just don’t care. (air) [Pre-Chorus] Oh, patchouli’s got a grip on the free, (Patchouli) But it’s losing its hold when it comes to me. (free) Lock it up tight, bury it deep, (Patchouli) In the memory vault where the funk don’t creep. (deep) [Instrumental Interlude] ... (Patchouli) [Outro] Patchouli shadow, fade from the light, (Patchouli) You’ve worn out your welcome on this midnight flight. (light) A breeze blows clean, I’m cutting the tie, (Patchouli) Patchouli’s gone, and so am I. (tie) [Instrumental Ending] ... (Patchouli)
