Lyrics
The Deer And The Derrick
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.
Oh dear, the derrick has overflowed
While the worst of this town is cloned behind a she'd
I cannot wish for anything
But a tattoo for each regret until I'm spent
(Chorus)
I wouldn't say that she's like her mother
I couldn't tell if she loved her father
You aren't mine now
You wouldn't say that she's like her mother
You couldn't tell if she loved her father
You aren't mine now
The man in charge of the dirty words
Has a horse that he keeps in stirrups
So he can make his bread
And now the legend has come alive
On the tip of my cigarette
They're just lies
(Bridge)
And all I can say is sorry
But I know it means shit
