Magnolia Tea Room

Strangers asking for directions
searching for a white victorian home
follow the aroma
to the smell of lemon
sequin women
someone's getting his tonight
gossip and laughter fills the room

we've got eduardo pouring up from the copper kettle
spills a drop, lost the top
sip, sip, sip
come on and take another drink in the magnolia tea room

havalena, I didn't mean to
kick and run
she won't find me... no, I'm home...

woman, housekeeper
don't wanna go to bed
I just wanna see what's going on
they're pouring
cinnamon java
raspberry lava
getting wired on orange pekoe
the laughter fills the room

follow the moonlight
stroke of midnight
into the sky...
through the backyard
cinnamon java
raspberry lava
wired on pekoe as the band plays in seven...

won't you turn it around?

take me back to yesterday
I've got to get away from here
havalena, she's looking for me
where I hide I'll never fear
she won't find me... no...
... I'm home...
