I'm Hermit McDermitt if there's a better way I'll learn it
I'm Hermit McDermitt my irregular ways confirm it
I'm Hermit McDermitt in my tower of ivory if you find me I'll burn it
You won't see me for dust there's no one I trust a hermit I must be
I won't be your criminal I don't want your laws
Your taxi cabs and cheap kebabs and dingy dancing halls
I don't want your wedding bells no top notch salary
It's a cabin in the hills or a cottage by the sea for me
I'm Hermit McDermitt if there's a better way I'll learn it
I'm Hermit McDermitt my irregular ways confirm it
I'm Hermit McDermitt in my tower of ivory if you find me I'll burn it
You won't see me for dust there's no one I trust a hermit I must be
You treated me like an afterthought and after all I'd done
Subjected me to ridicule that's your idea of fun
O city full of promises and citadels so grand
I said goodbye to you and yours and left for no man's land
No man no man's land
I'm Hermit McDermitt if there's a better way I'll learn it
I'm Hermit McDermitt my irregular ways confirm it
I'm Hermit McDermitt in my tower of ivory if you find me I'll burn it
You won't see me for dust there's no one I trust a hermit I must be
Must be
Living in the wilderness brings out the beast in me
I know I'm not the only one whose scent is on the breeze
Some of us have broken hearts or a price upon our heads
One day soon we'll all return and kill you in your beds
Kill you in your bed
