Deer Wife - Momus

I found a video on my porch

Put it on the VCR

It told me to go to the forest

And play my guitar

The forest is a dangerous place

You take your life in your hands

There are wild animals

Marking trees with marker glands

I’ve got a deer wife

A deer wife

Keep it to yourself

So I went to the forest

With my guitar and my bag

And there I found a doe

Surrounded by stags

Well the stags did rut and yowl

Jab at me with antlers and with hooves

But that doe chose me

Whatcha gonna do?

I’ve got a deer wife

A deer wife

Keep it to yourself

I’ve got a deer wife

And a battle for survival

Rooting for acorns and berries

And fending off my rivals

But one day I will be

Monarch of this glen

Mark the trees not with glands

But with a Krink pen

I’ve got a deer wife

A deer wife

Keep it to yourself
