Lyric Hermit Mcdermitt (T Finn) 4:08

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)
