Drop It Doe Eyes - Remastered

You expected my war diaries
 But time ran out and I, I let you down
 A small thanks note written in French is no shorthand for
 "This thing gave me writer's cramp"
 ♪
 Another dream about shapeshifting
 Well, we move with such elegance, with such grace
 With all our dignity just in place
 Deer die with their eyes wide open
 Eyes wide open, eyes wide open
 Deer die with their eyes wide open
 ♪
 Drawing tiny little pictures of skeletons
 To get across the sense of impending doom
 And the leaves like the artwork to Major Leagues
 Look like dead foxes on the hard shoulder
 And for some reason I think that I attributed this story
 To the bypass of the town I hadn't visited
 So goes the backing track of all the sighs we'd ever sighed
 Deer die with their eyes wide open
 Eyes wide open, eyes wide open
 Deer die with their eyes wide open
 ♪
 Drawing tiny little pictures of skeletons
 To get across the sense of impending doom
 And I am seventeen pages through this notebook now
 And there are little more than pictures of how I see you
 In an X-ray machine that's more like a television screen
 And you're in a rut, and I know that you know what I mean
 And then the realization hits that
 Not even two gospel choirs could save us now
 ♪
 Turn up on your doorstep
 Feeling like roadkill
 Tasting like postage stamps
 And when I touch you
 You fold up like an envelope
 With everything I ever wrote
 Pouring out of your mouth
