lyrics

Derek at Your Back Door

Little kid from Holmfirth drinks the day away
He used to have a future but it’s now a whisky haze
But he got himself a pretty girl tried to do right by her
And he tried to tell his story but he couldn’t find the words
Dark secrets of a teacher
Lessons of a preacher

Run
Run to the sun
You’re gonna burn
On the killing floor
At night
When you close your eyes
Can you still see
His wicked disguise
Derek at your back door

A locked door in an attic hides the left hand path
Lead them to temptation with a sexual photograph
They say that it’s a sickness but I don’t think there’s a cure
A twisted crucifix within a mind that once was pure
Your nightmare his fantasy
Your hell his street of dreams

Run
Run to the sun
You’re gonna burn
On the killing floor
At night
When you close your eyes
Can you still see
His wicked disguise
Derek at your back door

A word in the ear of Simon but it won’t cut a deal
They’re gonna send you down I’d say so their scars can heal
You’d be doin’ 25 to life if it was any call of mine
They’re stringing up the noose to make sure you serve your time
You’re living, a lie
They’re gonna hang the gallows high

Run
Run to the sun
You’re gonna burn
On the killing floor
At night
When you close your eyes
Can you still see
His wicked disguise
Derek at your back door
