Split Enz - Hermit McDermitt lyrics

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 No, 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 Oh, city full of promises and citadels so grand I said goodbye to you and yours, and left for 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 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 k** you in your beds Whoa I'm Hermit (yeah) McDermitt (yeah), if there's a better way I'll learn it I'm Hermit (yeah) McDermitt (yeah), my irregular ways confirm it I'm Hermit (yeah) McDermitt (yeah) 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'm Hermit (yeah) McDermitt (yeah) I'm Hermit (yeah) McDermitt (yeah) I'm Hermit (yeah) McDermitt (yeah) I'm Hermit (yeah) McDermitt (yeah) I'm Hermit McDermitt
