lyrics

Hermit

he’s a hermit shaman fool
step right up for your soul renewal
bang the conch shells scream and shout
got to shake the demons out

he’s a hermit sleeps alone
no computer no cell phone
out beyond the edge of town
twirling in a sequined gown

sure he can remember
back when he was just another guy
but that was way before the transformation
now he gets there’s no point to try

he’s a hermit craves his peace
he can offer deep release
strangling spells there’s little worse
it’s his job to kill the curse

he’s a hermit hates the game
each conniving all the same
when he’s parrot when he’s pig
he can feel his heart swell big

sure he can remember
back when he was just another guy
but that was way before the transformation
now he gets there’s no point to try

he’s a hermit stays away
drinks the sun in every day
he lives half in primal dreams
nothing here is what it seems

sure he can remember
back when he was just another guy
but that was way before the transformation
now he gets there’s no point to try
