She bought a bottle of cider From the shop on the corner They didn't stop her--they thought she was older She took a bus ride to a name and a number A house full of music And a hatful of wonder And some of the people that she thought that she knew Were never like this when she saw them at school She's never been anywhere like this before Everybody's so out of control She was in a back room Full of strange aromas And noises and candles That is where he found her He took her to a garden Full of rain and silence And she could smell the soil and the trees and see the succulent light From the little fires in his eyes pulling shapes out of the night She was enchanted Then it was 12 o'clock And the last bus is gone They're gonna go crazy when they hear what she's done Higher is lower--and less is like more She nver felt anything like this before... Marion! Marion! Marion! Marion! And then it was yesterday And he said, Oh, by the way, Welcome to your first party. ------------------------------------
