The Deviationist Society Lyrics by Tankus the Henge

Tankus the Henge

2013

[Verse 1]
Mr White was a lawyer for a murderer's case
With many years behind him and a treacherous face
Sitting at his table on a train to the west
You gotta know how to draw you gotta know how to dress
Suddenly the window breaks, in jumps a man
Scarf over his mouth with the heat in his hand
He says, "Good morning White
You got some time to waste?
This metal in your mouth will leave a nasty taste"
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you see the fear
Flashing through his eyes?
[Verse 2]
Well there's old Dr. Johnson with a hole in his eye
He don't know how to fight, but he knows how to die
There's someone outside in the corridor now
Pulls open the shutter, and takes a bow
The window to the track is rivetted shut
Poor old Dr .Johnson he ain't got much luck
As the ticekt inspector come along for the dead
And sees the curves of a girl sillouhetted instead
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you see the fear
Flashing through his eyes?
[Chorus]
The fool who brings a knife to a gunfight
Ends up six foot below me
The deviationist society
If you wanna live it's best to be lonely
Tell me you are listening
[Verse 3]
There's money in the sand when it's riddled with gold
And it all gets out of hand when there a woman involved
And you can't pull the plug on the American dream
You'll end up in the ditch in the final scene
[Pre-Chorus]
Have you felt the rain
Crawling down your face?
[Chorus]
The fool who brings a knife to a gunfight
Ends up six foot below me
The deviationist society
If you wanna live it's best to be lonely
[Verse 4]
Now there's only one left at the back of the train
We don't know what he's lost, but there's nothing to gain
The smile on his face and a tear in the eye
Casually making truth from a lie
Now like it or not, he's gettin away
You make your own rules at the end of the day
The cards in his hand are lost in the mist
Maybe that makes him a deviationist
[Chorus]
Fool who brings a knife to a gunfight
Ends up six foot below me
The deviationist society
If you wanna live it's best to be lonely
The fool who brings a knife to a gunfight
Ends up six foot below me
The deviationist society
If you wanna live it's best to be lonely
