Lyrics The Collector - Missy Higgins

The Collector

Oh no you didn’t
You didn’t just go there
Keep pulling at the thread pretty soon you’re gonna
Unleash what’s in here
Oh no you didn’t
You didn’t push me again
I got a memory like an elephant honey, I never forget
They call me the collector
Cos they know I’m keeping tabs
They call me the collector
Cos they know I’m coming back
Oh no you didn’t
You didn’t just do that
Keep tugging at the line pretty soon you’re gonna
Regret what you catch
Oh no you didn’t
You didn’t try that again
I got a little book in my heart where names like yours get written down in red
They call me the collector
Cos they know I’m keeping tabs
They call me the collector
Cos they know I never lose track
And when the day comes honey
To collect my rent money
I’ll be back
I got everything you owe me etched into my soul
Under these bruises and blood is an animal
And the crevices you cut were so deep
But now the dark, dark water’s gathering
They call me the collector
Cos they know I’m keeping tabs
They call me the collector
Cos they know I’m coming back
So if you think you’re better
I dare you fella
Yeah, I dare you fella
Find out why they call me the collector
