Vigilantes of Love
Where My Seed Might Find Purchase (1999)
[Verse 1]
The leaves were changing for quite some time
As we headed south
On 35
Some unfinished business left to do
Stepping stone up
We're further away from you
There's been talk on the telephone
About these bleak reports of mine
They say your radio
Is pretty good this year
But your retail's not worth a dime

[Chorus]
Where my seed
Might find purchase
Where my seed
Might find purchase
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Tonight these hollow bodies
Are thrown into the path
Stun-gun electricity
The bleeding fingers
Strumming hacks
My tubes, they are a-rattlin'
The wind among
Dead leaves
And my amps, well, they're
Are howling
For nobody else but me
[Chorus]
Where my seed
Might find purchase
Where my seed
Might find purchase
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
Yeah, slipping under beneath the haze
Of John Barleycorn too often
Generally I am the one most inclined
To drive the nails into their
Respective coffins
Distortion factor's kicking in
A thousand miles from home
And tonight my speakers
Are breaking up too much
With a beauty all of their own

[Chorus]
Where my seed
Might find purchase
Where my seed
Might find purchase
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 4]
Could your bloodstream ever withstand
The poison born of bitterness and vices?
You must learn to live thankful to the Lord
Or be left to your own devices
Yeah, we're out here on these paths again
Speaking our peace
And throwing caution to the wind
There's a warm, dry room you can sleep in
When you're caught out in
The open

[Chorus]
Where my seed
Might find purchase
Where my seed
Might find purchase
Where my seed
Might find purchase
Where my seed
