"Burning Indian Wife" lyrics - BIG BLACK

A Indian man
Displeased with the size of his wife's dowry
Engineers a cooking fire
Destroys her in his home

Heard this story and it made some sense
Out the window is a funky light
Burning Indian wife smell
Warm the heart of a lonely man
Burn, destroy her and make some sense
Out the window is a funky light
Burning Indian wife smell
Warm the heart of a hungry man

His wife is not too pleased
She blames her family
Perhaps this will teach them
Not to be so stingy

I wanna live in a place like that
Where mistakes can be corrected
Where a man can get what he has coming
Someone else will pay the price
I wanna live in a place like that
Where mistakes can be corrected
Where a man can get what he has coming
Someone else will light my life
