As sure as anything

As sure as I can be

That 99 %, pure as Ivory

I caught the scent, followed the smell of it

Couldn't ignore it

Hey, why did you pick on me?



What's that pretty flower I see?

Tall and wild it waves at me

Mother said it's just a weed

Golden Rod, Golden Rod



Growing wild, not in the city

Gave me an allergy

And my reaction's what's gonna happen

It gets no help from me



I can't explain it

Maybe I shouldn't try to

That old genetic code,

Had a hold on me

We coincided, ran head long into it

And mothers' warning, useless to me



What's that pretty flower I see?

Tall and wild it waves at me

Mother said it's just a weed

Golden Rod, Golden Rod



Another blonde, not from the city

Gave me an allergy

Well you can see me drinking the poison

Taking it happily



What's that pretty flower I see?

Tall and wild it waves at me

Mother said it's just a weed

Golden Rod, Golden Rod



Another blonde, not from the city

gave me an allergy

And my reaction's

What's gonna happen

It gets not help from me



You're running wild, not in the city

gave me an alleregy

And my reaction's

What's gonna happen

It gets no help from



Well you will see me

Drinking the poison

taking it happily



You're running wild

You're running wild



Another blonde not from the city

Drinking the poison

Taking it happily



Not from the city



Golden Rod

Golden Rod

Golden Rod
