Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers - Green & Dumb lyrics

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 pray That they'll catch her 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 am I, 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 dull all the aching 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
