Poacher Lyrics by Anthony Ruptak

C’est la Vie

0

White-tailed 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 call
We could tell that they were dining, oh
For a cool sheet of legal is the law of the hunter
And a ten-cent shell is a spark in the winter
For a trigger slick 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
Oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, ooh, mm
And I guess we're looking for a better hollow
Or a backwoods method to return what's borrowed
But when the paper-slips-sunken-ships-batshit sorrow
Becomes a supermarket Eden which we start to follow
Oh, the bones of our father make a nest for our corpses
Beneath the dirt we turn, which we bury our leaders
And the stiff-necked glory whore American theater
Swallows up the vagrants and the minimum wagers
