TODD RUNDGREN - Buffalo Grass lyrics

Saw you once and you looked so sweet

Saw you twice and I felt complete

Three times thought I'd get some peace

Dozen times and there's no release

And I was already gone

And life goes on in white and black

Cloaking the stealth of your attack

The tendrils creep through every crack

And every time I cut you off

You grow right back

Like buffalo grass

You crawled across my heart

Oh like buffalo grass

Wrapped yourself around my heart

Day goes by and I think I feel clean

Week goes by and I feel serene

Month goes by like you're just a dream

Year goes by I'm back on my knees

When I was already gone

But since you first infected me

We've been connected karmically

Should I escape your gravity

In every other solar system

There you'll be

Like buffalo grass

You crawled across my heart

Oh like buffalo grass

Wrapped yourself around my heart

Like buffalo grass

You crawled across my heart

Oh like hele hele

Cat claw across my heart

Empires fall and the roach will rule

Lifetimes pass and I'm still your fool

Universe collapses in a silvery pool

Watering the root that connects me to you
