lyrics

Artichoke, you're a soldier with your armor green,
tender heart, you're a soldier with your armor green,
I see right through but I can't think of why you'd be hiding behind those leaves,
hiding behind those leaves.

Tiger striped, you're an animal so fierce and tall,
gentle eyes are a window through the fortress wall,
window through the leaves, window through the leaves,
window through the fortress wall.

Gentle friend, I am puzzled by these games with you,
illusion, let me have a taste of the green truth.

Artichoke, you're a soldier with your armor green,
tender heart, you're a soldier with your armor green,
I see right through but I can't think of why you'd be hiding behind those leaves,
hiding behind those leaves.
