Lyrics

Deadman's Isle

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well I've slept out on these streets before

And I've drowned myself in every bar

But not like I did with you

Now I've got one more night of tellin' lies

I hope they never televise

The things that I used to do

And now I'm on the run again

For the dumbest thing that I ever did

And I don't know what I should do

You said: You can hardly see you won't get far

So I let the dog drive the car

And hoped that I'd make it through

And I did

But I might be goin' away for a while

I might be goin' away for a while

They might be shipping me away to Deadman's Isle

And if I can't find a way to win this dreadful trial

I'll be goin' away for a while

I've practiced stuff and stumbling around

But that night really knocked me down

Now I don't know what to do

And now that dog went off but I can't blame him

Gotta get done under this mess I'm in

I won't be goin' home too soon

I might be goin' away for a while

I might be goin' away for a while

They might be shipping me away to Deadman's Isle

And if I can't find a way to win this dreadful trial

I'll be goin' away for a while

Well I never should've let that dog drive

I never should've let him in

I never should've drunk that last rye

I never should've drunk that gin

Now I've got one more night stuck inside of a police station

And I don't think I'll see that dog again

I've got one more night of seein' stars

Sleep on my ass behind the bars

I guess they found out where I've been

And now I'm goin' away for a while

And now I'm goin' away for a while

I guess they're shipping me away to Deadman's Isle

Now I've got one more night of tellin' lies

I hope they never televise

This one last night with crooked eyes

Let's light this city up tonight

Cause I'm goin' away

I'm goin' away

I'm goin' away for a while
