Tall Weeds - Wussy

It appears we may have finally found a sweet spot

Somewhere between the grove and cedars and the lake

Was that commotion an explosion or a gunshot

A firecracker’s just as likely and it’s easier to take

Look away, look away don’t watch me

A silhouette against a watercolor sky

Look away, look away don’t watch me

From the tall weeds

Don’t wait, don’t wait up for me tonight

I left my memory in the evergreen

It looks as if we may have come across a camp site

A moldy blanket and the remnants of a fire

AN open space illuminated in the moonlight

I’m getting thirsty, kind of sleepy

And I’m starting to perspire

Look away, look away don’t watch me

A silhouette against a watercolor sky

Look away, look away don’t watch me

From the tall weeds

Don’t wait, don’t wait up for me tonight

I left my memory in the evergreen

There’s a chance we may have landed in an ambush

I took a bullet and I’m bleeding pretty bad

Was that goodbye a salutation or a hard push

I bet my money on the latter and I’m anything but gold

Look away, look away don’t watch me

A silhouette against a watercolor sky

Look away, look away don’t watch me

From the tall weeds

Don’t wait, don’t wait up for me tonight

I left my memory in the evergreen

I don’t know your expression in the moonlight

But I still have your picture to remind me
