Well I was born in the ground
I was grown and I was found
I was brought in like a baby on the stoop
I grew arms and I grew legs
Made of dirt and vines and clay
They wrap around me like an earthen ball of string

Silver haired lady waters me
Silver haired lady watches me
I got a vegetable heart
It beats but there is no blood

I never got too far
They were afraid I'd fall apart
They were afraid of what the world would do to me
So I just stayed in the yard
With mosquitoes and mason jars
The birds and the squirrels they were my only friends

Silver haired lady waters me
Silver haired lady watches me
Making sure I never go to far
Making sure I never fall apart
I got a vegetable heart
It beats but there is no blood
I got a vegetable heart
Its strong but there is no love
No there is no love

Sometimes I climb a tree
And stare for hours in the dark
When the sun comes up it amazes me
When the boys and the girls walk together on the street
I don't feel anything -- it just confuses me

I got a vegetable heart
It beats but there is no blood
I got a vegetable heart
Its strong but there is no love
No there is no love
