Creatures kissing in the rain
Shapeless in the dark again
In the hanging garden please don't speak
In the hanging garden no one sleeps
(In the hanging garden)
(In the hanging garden)
Catching halos on the moon
Gives my hands the shapes of angels
In the heat of the night, the animals scream
In the heat of the night, walking into a dream
Fall fall fall fall
Into the walls
Jump, jump out of time
Fall fall fall fall
Out of the sky
Cover my face as the animals cry
In the hanging garden, in the hanging garden
Creatures kissing in the rain
Shapeless in the dark again
In the hanging garden change the past
In the hanging garden wearing furs and masks
Fall fall fall fall
Into the walls
Jump, jump out of time
Fall fall fall fall
Out of the sky
Cover my face as the animals die
In the hanging garden
As as the animals die
Cover my face as the animals die
In the hanging garden
In the hanging garden
In the hanging garden
In the hanging garden
In the hanging garden
Shapeless in the dark again
In the hanging garden please don't speak
In the hanging garden no one sleeps
(In the hanging garden)
(In the hanging garden)
Catching halos on the moon
Gives my hands the shapes of angels
In the heat of the night, the animals scream
In the heat of the night, walking into a dream
Fall fall fall fall
Into the walls
Jump, jump out of time
Fall fall fall fall
Out of the sky
Cover my face as the animals cry
In the hanging garden, in the hanging garden
Creatures kissing in the rain
Shapeless in the dark again
In the hanging garden change the past
In the hanging garden wearing furs and masks
Fall fall fall fall
Into the walls
Jump, jump out of time
Fall fall fall fall
Out of the sky
Cover my face as the animals die
In the hanging garden
As as the animals die
Cover my face as the animals die
In the hanging garden
In the hanging garden
In the hanging garden
In the hanging garden
In the hanging garden

I was reading a poem called 'The Hanging Gardens were a Dream' and it struck me what the true meaning of Hanging Gardens were!
As in, one of the wonders of the ancient world, Babylon. There's not much to say about it bar the symbolism of this archaic Garden-of-Eden-like place of beauty and perfection.
I think Smith then conjures up the idea that something has happened to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon-- in the lyrics, 'hanging gardens' is no longer capitalised, as if it's lost its importance. Animals run amok, and it's dark. The end of time, as written about in other Pornography songs.
