lyrics

White tail doe in the back of a chevy
She was stiff and warm and her blood flowed heavy
We dropped her body at the edge of a clearing
And I got wasted in the golden evening

For a sick white man with a perpetual acquittal
Did an awful thing with the lust of a killer
So he cussed the bows and his icicle shelter
And as the wolves began to caw
We could tell that they were dining

For a cool sheet of legal is the law of a hunter
And a ten-cent shell is the spark in the winter
For a trigger-sick sucker with a taste for murder
And a grumble in his gut from a cyclical hunger

For every carnal beast has got his appetite
And the meaner ones travel when the moon is right
And I still jealous of the thrill of flight
That the weaker ones flaunt when the days get bright

And I guess we're looking for a better hollow
Or a backwoods method to return what's borrowed
But when the paper slip, sunken ship, bat shit sorrow
Becomes a supermarket Eden which we start to follow

All the bones of our fathers
make a nest for our corpses
Beneath the dirt we turn
With which we'd bury our leaders
And the stiff-necked, glory whore American theater
Swallows up the vagrants and the minimum wagers
