Fleet Foxes - Icicle Tusk lyrics
[Fleet Foxes - Icicle Tusk lyrics]
I'll shoot you dead for the father
Of the coal miner's daughter
Beneath the icicle tusk
You and me among the fluttering dust
In my haste I draw my weapon
Designing your final lesson
As you recede to the floor
All is silent but the fluttering door
Twenty-five grand on the table
Of the Howell Street stable
I'm not responsible for
The reputation of the neighborhood whore
But, I'm a keyhole peeker
And you're my surveillance keeper
And though my memory rusts
I will always see the icicle tusk
And I must admit
That it gets lonesome on my shelf
This much I can tell this much I can tell
Of the coal miner's daughter
Beneath the icicle tusk
You and me among the fluttering dust
In my haste I draw my weapon
Designing your final lesson
As you recede to the floor
All is silent but the fluttering door
Twenty-five grand on the table
Of the Howell Street stable
I'm not responsible for
The reputation of the neighborhood whore
But, I'm a keyhole peeker
And you're my surveillance keeper
And though my memory rusts
I will always see the icicle tusk
And I must admit
That it gets lonesome on my shelf
This much I can tell this much I can tell
