Текст песни «O Fisher - Deadwood»

Im dead, I aint got no roots
The toes are pokin through ma boots

Im deadwood.

But you cant say that Ive fallen,
No, ma trunks still a tall un.

Im deadwood.

Lotsa things crawlin through me.
The sins, they still choke me
Like the ropes wrapped round a cottonwood tree.

Im deadwood.

Moss grows on my teeth
And the tears and sweat,
They stick to my cheeks
As thick as sap, clear as dew,

Im deadwood.

The crack falters my stance.
Im dried out and now I dont need me
No chances.

Im already deadwood.

Im crooked as the Good Lords book.
I asked for mercy, that dont come to fools
He gave me one look, shook His head

Now Im deadwood.

I await the day
When the wind no longer makes me sway
But fall down to my knees
And Ill know what it means
To really plead for Mercy

And Ill rot like deadwood.

Deadwood.
Deadwood.

But you need a scapegoat like me.
Yeh, this town, it needs its enemy.
Feast your eyes on this sorry pack of lies.
Watch yourself.
Watch where this deadwood lies.

See I am the town scapegoat and enemy.
I am the town scapegoat and enemy.
I am the town scapegoat and enemy.
See I am the town scapegoat and enemy.
