about

This song was partly inspired by a quote by Robert Lowell, comparing a manic episode to a "magical orange grove in a nightmare."

lyrics

don't wake the baby
the baby is asleep
don't wake the baby
from its psychotic dream

don't call it crazy
'cause crazy it might be
don't call it crazy
with its gigantic teeth

into where the nightmare grows
shattering reality
hiding in the orange grove
waiting there for me
go there and you'll see

don't wake the baby
the baby is asleep
don't wake the baby
from its psychotic dream

into where the nightmare grows
shattering reality
hiding in the orange grove
waiting there for me
go there and you'll see
