Testo di 'Green & Dumb' di Roger Clyne

Daisies stand up on their tip-toes
Clouds tumble over themselves in the sky
And all the pretty horses come runnin' to her
And even the dust devils break
But they'll catch your eye

I haunt her house from the outside
I watch her bake cornbread and talk on the phone
And the wireless on the inside plays a sad sweet song
A mute moonlit statue of mine, she waltzes alone

But baby, baby, i could call you baby
If i weren't so empty in the head and tied up in the tongue
And baby, baby, i could call you baby
If i weren't so green and dumb

The wind ain't stopped blowin' since morning
It's got me froze up on the inside
And i could get warm in the bunk house
And thaw out on coffee and bread

But baby, baby, i could call you baby
If i weren't so empty in the head and tied up in the tongue
But baby, baby, i could call you baby
If i weren't so green and dumb

I need your government warning
Like i need a hole in my head
Well, i won't shoot your coyotes
And i won't burn your weeds
Your paycheck won't fill up this hollow
It won't die along the ages

But baby, baby, i could call you baby
If i weren't so empty in the head and tied up in the tongue
But baby, baby, i could call you baby
If i weren't so green & dumb

If i weren't so green & dumb
If i weren't so green & dumb
If i weren't so green & dumb
