The Deer And The Derrick Lyrics - Singles - Those Mockingbirds

oh dear, the derrick has overflowed 

while the worst of this town is cloned behind a shed 

i cannot wish for anything 

but a tattoo for each regret until im spent 

(chorus) 

i wouldn't say that shes like her mother 

i couldn't tell if she loved her father 

you aren't mine now 

you wouldn't say that shes 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
