Daphne's Disease

She lives in dazed disarray
She beckons to keep it that way
No tether could ever keep her down
Cake walks through a circle of trees.
Seven candles on a 9 layer peach
Say what you will
Wish away what you want,
With a well-wisher's face
She wants nothing.

Daphne's disease
Is spreading through the body of a family tree
Daphne oh please
Take your rest beneath a living laurel in me.

She leads all charmers astray
All wishing for personal D-days
Letting you know there's a price for your own way
Daphne takes it intrinsically
Her freedom's been routed from me
Now I'm all alone
Firefly's only chaperone
She puts upon airs never knowing

Daphne's disease
Is spreading through the body of a family tree
Daphne oh please
Take your rest beneath a living laurel in me.

Could you ever want to replace these yearly rings around my face?
This sappy grin will take your time.
You could be mine…

Daphne's disease
Is spreading through the body of a family tree
Daphne oh please
Take your rest beneath a living laurel in me.
