Lyrics Captain Beefheart – Veteran’s Day Poppy

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
Screamin’ empty, she cries
It don’t get me high, it can only make me cry
Your Veteran’s Day poppy
