Ohhhhh
I`m Hermit McDermitt, if there`s a better way I`ll learn it
I`m Hermit McDermitt, my irregular ways confirm it
I`m Hermit McDermitt, in my tower of ivory if you find me, I`ll burn it
you won`t see me for dust, there`s no one I trust, a hermit I must be
I won`t be your criminal, I don`t want your laws
Your taxi cabs and cheap kebabs and dingy dancing halls
I don`t want your wedding bells, no top notch salary
It`s a cabin in the hills or a cottage by the sea for me
I`m Hermit McDermitt, if there`s a better way I`ll learn it
I`m Hermit McDermitt, my irregular ways confirm it
I`m Hermit McDermitt, in my tower of ivory if you find me, I`ll burn it
you won`t see me for dust, there`s no one I trust, a hermit I must be
You treated me like an afterthought and after all I`d done
Subjected me to ridicule, that`s your idea of fun
O city full of promises and citadels so grand
I said goodbye to you and yours, and left for no-man`s land
I`m Hermit McDermitt, if there`s a better way I`ll learn it
I`m Hermit McDermitt, my irregular ways confirm it
I`m Hermit McDermitt, in my tower of ivory if you find me, I`ll burn it
you won`t see me for dust, there`s no one I trust, a hermit I must be
Living in the wilderness brings out the beast in me
I know I`m not the only one whose scent is on the breeze
Some of us have broken hearts or a price upon our heads
One day soon we`ll all return and kill you in your beds
whoa.. whoa.. whoa..
I`m Hermit McDermitt, if there`s a better way I`ll learn it
I`m Hermit McDermitt, my irregular ways confirm it
I`m Hermit McDermitt, in my tower of ivory if you find me, I`ll burn it
you won`t see me for dust, there`s no one I trust, a hermit I must be
I`m Hermit McDermitt (x11 to fade)
