Fleet Foxes - Icicle Tusk lyrics

rate me

I'll shoot you dead<br />

For the father<br />

Of the coal miner's daughter<br />

Beneath the icicle tusk<br />

You and me among the flattering dusk<br />

<br />

In my haste I draw my weapon<br />

Designing your final lesson<br />

As you recede to the floor<br />

All is silent but the fluttering door<br />

<br />

Twenty-five grand on the table<br />

Of the high wall street stable<br />

I'm not responsible for<br />

The reputation of the<br />

Neighborhood whore<br />

<br />

But I'm a keyhole peeker<br />

And you're my surveilance keeper<br />

And though my memory rusts<br />

I will always see the icicle tusk<br />

<br />

And I must admit<br />

That it gets lonesome on my shelf<br />

This much I can tell<br />

This much I can tell
