Trees are dripping like bloody noses
As we go skipping through the roses (burning roses)
You know I slept on the prison floor for you
You know I crawled down on all fours for you

Well you're just like one of those colorful birds
You only come around here when spring returns
You're always leaving me in my overcoat
With my eyes hanging down into my ice cream float

Strawberry blonde, I love you
Nobody gets me like you
But the palm trees are burning
And the rent is due
Strawberry blonde, strawberry blonde

Lets do dinner and a double feature
First its El Dorado then Creature (from the Black Lagoon)
All the cowboys, they're all crying for you
And the mythic beasts are dying for you

You're like a cobra with your gem-like eyes
I feel like Pig Pen in a cloud of flies (cloud of flies)
You know I'd wade in the Rio Grande for you
You know I'd trade my cowboy band for you
Strawberry blonde, I love you
Nobody gets me like you
But the babies are crying
And the rent is due
Strawberry blonde, strawberry blonde

Strawberry blonde, I love you
Nobody gets me like you
But the windows are shattered
And my heart is too
Strawberry blonde, strawberry blonde
I love you
