From the recordings Reclaim the Night and Weeds
Lyrics
Weeds (Track 9)
When hope is on “E”
When hope is on “E”
You’re revved up in park all alone in the dark
Where the hell did love go? Nobody knows
And the blow-and-go won’t go no more
For mother’s little hobo
When hope is on “E”
And you’re way out in the weeds
Wound up on side streets all tangled in knots
And all you remember is how you forgot
No amount of napkins can begin to sop up
All the blank spots that you can’t blot
Way out in the weeds
You can call on me
Reall love is free
I know it’s hard to believe
You can call on me
Knee deep in need
Knee deep in need
Treading the vortex, swimming with sharks
Red in the water right from the start
The illusion comes together the more you fall apart
Tarred and feathered and bleeding from the heart
Knee deep in need
Real love is free
When fun house mirrors are all you can see
Lip-licking smiles with razor-sharp teeth
Seasick of the fun of bumper-car whiplash
Punch-drunk from interpersonal backlash
Real love is free
You can call on me
Real love is free
I know it’s hard to believe
You can call on me
