lyrics

Purple Thistle,
you enamor me, you spiny Purple Thistle.
Your needles make me bleedle on your bristle.
Purple thistle, you've got me stuck.

I run through the fields and brush against your beauty,
I find, beneath my knickers, there are spines in my patootie.
Fuschia blossoms, fuzzy, make me wonder was he in love with me.

Your scratch is makin' rashes
on this body in the hot heat of the spring.
No, aint no other flower with the power
of your poison tingling.

As in a dream.

Purple thistle, I'm crazy tryin' to scratch that itchy tickle.
And you don't even see the tears I trickle.
Purple thistle, you've got me stuck.

It's springtime in the garden, but I don't even pardon
the splinters on your leaves.
Maybe there's a way your splinters might stay in me
comfortably.

Purple Thistle,
you enamor me, you spiny Purple Thistle.
Your needles make me bleedle on your bristle.
Purple thistle, you've got me stuck.

It's springtime in the garden, but I don't even pardon
the splinters on your leaves.
Maybe there's a way your splinters might stay in me
comfortably.

Purple Thistle,
you enamor me, you spiny Purple Thistle.
Your needles make me bleedle on your bristle.
Purple thistle, you've got me stuck.

I'm stuck... stuck... stuck.
