Captain Beefheart
Veteran’s Day Poppy
[Verse]
"I cry but I can't buy
Your Veteran's Day poppy
It don't get me high
It can only make me cry
It can never grow another son
Like the one who warmed me
My days after rain and
Warmed my breath, my life's blood."
Screaming empty, she cries:
"It don't get me high
It can only make me cry
Your Veteran's Day poppy."
