Choisya /ˈʃɔɪziə/ is a small genus of aromatic evergreen shrubs in the rue family, Rutaceae. Members of the genus are commonly known as Mexican orange or mock orange due to the similarity of their flowers with those of the closely related orange, both in shape and scent. They are native to southern North America, from Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and south through most of Mexico. In its generic name Humboldt and Bonpland honoured Swiss botanist Jacques Denis Choisy (1799-1859).
The species grow to 1–3 m (3.3–9.8 ft) tall. The leaves are opposite, leathery, glossy, palmately compound with 3-13 leaflets, each leaflet 3–8 cm (1.2–3.1 in) long and 0.5–3.5 cm (0.20–1.38 in) broad. C. ternata has three broad leaflets, while C. dumosa has up to 13 very narrow leaflets. The flowers are star-shaped, 3–5 cm (1.2–2.0 in) diameter, with 4-7 white petals, 8-15 stamens and a green stigma; they are produced throughout the late spring and summer. The fruit is a leathery two to six sectioned capsule.
[Chorus]I come and go like a boomerang,
Set me free and ill come back again.
To and fro like a freight train,
Stop and lend yo time again.
Verse 1
I'm dark in a place,
stuck in outer space,
talkin to my friends they dont know what i say.
I'm in the ocean duck divin the waves,
I'm on a mountain been climbin for days.
"The top of the world is just up the way",
said the blind man wavin the sage.
Chapter 5, 29th page
Time ain't the only thing movin today.
I gotta go, gotta get away,
Let the sunset just set away.
On the deck tryin to catch a wave,
some girl in a dress will say,
"Please don't leave me" [x2]
[chorus]
Verse 2
Stop and go, is this rock and roll?
Soul brotha on the yellow brick road.
Dressed up ready to go,
with my hair messed up in some regular clothes.
Guess what, i'm strikin a pose,
you could make a statue i suppose.
Lights, camera, then i froze,
Thoughts of you and my head arose.
She loves me like a pedal on a rose,
I love alot, last pedal on the floor.
On the deck tryin to catch a wave,
some girl in a dress will say,
"Please don't leave me" [x2]
[chorus]
woah oh, oh, oh, ooh
Verse 3
Believe me this time i'm leavin,
for a little bit longer than a weekend.
And when you see me ill be rockin,
on yo tv, i know your watchin.
And ill be thinking of you often,
put the top down and see a rose blossom.
On the deck tryin to catch a wave,
some girl in a dress will say,
"Please don't leave me" [x2]
