Lyrics The Twig & The Tree - Mounties

The Twig & The Tree

In the wilderness, you run 'til you scream
(The boy and the gun, boy and the gun.)
You lay on spruce bows and you drink from the stream
(The boy and the gun, boy and the gun.)
You’ve seen the future go from good to obscene
(The boy and the gun, boy and the gun.)
Your K9 senses leave a scent on the trees
(The boy and the gun, boy and the gun.)
Your stone age instinct knows the winter is here
(The boy and the fox, boy and the fox.)
Cat got snowshoes dragged away in the clear
(The boy and the fox, boy and the fox.)
Beaver pelt offerings to show you’re sincere
(The boy and the fox, boy and the fox.)
In minus 40, air is perfectly clear
(The boy and the fox, boy and the fox.)
Shoot 'em my boy, Shoot 'em my boy
(Shoot 'em my boy, Shoot 'em my boy.)
Shoot 'em my boy, Shoot 'em my boy
(Shoot 'em my boy, Shoot 'em my boy.)
Shoot 'em my boy, Shoot 'em my boy
(Shoot 'em my boy, Shoot 'em my boy.)
Shoot 'em my boy, Shoot 'em my boy
(Shoot 'em my boy, Shoot 'em my boy.)
The fall is coming and the lichens rejoice
(The twig & the tree, twig & the tree.)
The intensity of hunger leaves you without a choice
(The twig & the tree, twig & the tree.)
You touch the berries to your lips for the moist
(The twig & the tree, twig & the tree.)
The tired moonlight speaks to your inner voice
(The twig & the tree, twig & the tree)
Shoot 'em my boy, Shoot 'em my boy
(Shoot 'em my boy, Shoot 'em my boy.)
Shoot 'em my boy, Shoot 'em my boy
(Shoot 'em my boy, Shoot 'em my boy.)
Shoot 'em my boy, Shoot 'em my boy
(Shoot 'em my boy, Shoot 'em my boy.)
Shoot 'em my boy, Shoot 'em my boy
(Shoot 'em my boy, Shoot 'em my boy.)
Aaah, aah, This is where he almost died
Aaah, aah, This is where he almost died
Aaah, aah, This is where he almost died
Aaah, aah, This is where he almost died
