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'm 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's 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

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's claw across my heart

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's claw across my heart

Like buffalo grass
You crawled across my heart
Oh, like buffalo grass
