lyrics

You left me for dead on the edge
Abandoned me bound by my rage
Said, it’s for the best. What you meant was:
So long, my dear, no one can hear
The buffalo are on their way

You hit me again like a fist
Knocked out my slice of the sky
You’re just a man sized eclipse

You turned away without remorse
And said I’d make a lovely corpse
The rigor mortis is on its way

You liked me half-dressed and a mess
Stumbling out in the rain
Bereft of my army of knaves
You don’t just get to claim a win
I think I’ll put a different spin
Surprise, my friend, it’s not the end
Another song is on its way

Guess what the kitty dragged home
Who’d’a thunk it? I bet you never figured
I’m bent but not broken
Fuck, kill, or marry, two out of three ain’t bad
I buried that bone in the backyard, so sad

Hey, diddle diddle, I got an old riddle
What you get when you mix a girl with a fiddle?
You played me a story, I snorted the line
Got the whites of your eyes in my crosshairs this time

Crawl through lies/bide my time/this is mine
Watch me

I can crawl through lies/bide my time/this is mine
I can crawl through lies/bide my time/this is mine
Watch me
