Wildweed Lyrics by Jeffrey Lee Pierce

Wildweed

1985

Oh, wildweed
Oh, wildweed
Over there is a great red house
About ready to burn, tonight
Your Chinese wife and children
Standing stupid there
You can no longer hurt them again or again...
Oh, wildweed
Oh, wildweed
Your mind is hot on your wires
And grey against your cheek
And at midnight, you turned against
Your children there
I don't ever want to see you living again...
Oh, wildweed
Oh, wildweed
There is a great red house
Fire licks the kiss outside
Your head throbs, and Mexico is so far away
You had better let no one see you ever again...
