Lyrics transcript

Reviewed lyrics for Deathclaw Got a Crush on Me.

There's a horrific tale about how I got these

scars on my back.

And before you ask, no, I wasn't fighting raiders.

No, I wasn't a super mutant.

I got chased halfway across the Commonwealth.

by a death claw

with love on its mind

I was walking through the swamp when I heard

a heavy tread

Turned around and saw 600 pounds of ugly head

He came charging through the cattails Grinning ear to

ear

And I swear that giant lizard looked genuinely sincere

He dropped his head beside me Like a biming

on pets Then he knocked me six feet side

Just to show me no regrets

I scrambled to my feet And said, buddy, let

me go

He wagged that mighty tail And knocked me down

some more That death claw wants me Lord, what

have I done?

He ain't trying to kill me He thinks we're

having fun He follows me through mud He follows

through the rain If I stop to catch my

breath, he's on me once again I shoot him

in the shoulder, he thinks we're playing games That

big old horny death claw don't understand my pain

I climbed up on a truck and thought I'd

finally lost him He put his claws up on

the hood And started trying to climb I yelled

back off, mister He just gave a happy roar

Then he knocked me off the truck And started

chasing me some more I hid behind a ruined

wall He snipped me through the crack I heard

those claws scratching And I knew he'd find me

bad I ran toward the red rocket With that

beast right on my heels He lookin' like an

oversized puppy Yeah, puppies ain't automobiles That death claw

wants me Lord, what have I done?

He ain't tryna kill me He thinks we're havin'

fun He follows me through mud He follows through

the rain If I stop to catch my breath

He's on me once again I shoot him in

the shoulder He thinks we're playing games That big

old lovesick death claw Don't understand my pain

I made it into Diamond City Thinking I was

finally safe

The death clock ain't barreling in And nearly cleared

the gate The guard started shooting He didn't even

care He just kept on looking at me With

that stupid loving stare I ducked behind the merchant

He stuck his snout inside I said somebody help

me, the merchant said good luck guy I fought

raiders, I fought gunners, I fought super mutants too

I stared down a death claw and lived to

tell the truth But nothing in the commonwealth has

scared me half as bad As one six hundred

pound lizard thinkin' I'm his favorite pal I finally

told him, listen buddy

It's not you, it's me

Mostly because you're a deathclaw

I tried givin' him a bomb He didn't want

the cow Tried throwing him some red stick, he

just looked at me somehow I tossed him a

raider, well that made him stop and stare Then

he dropped the raider's corpse and followed me upstairs

I spent three whole days trying to lose that

beast Every time I thought I done it, there

he'd be behind me The death claw wants me

Lord, what have I done?

He ain't tryna kill me, thinks we're havin' fun

He follows me through mud He follows through the

rain He sees me as his sweetheart I see

them as a pain I finally reached sanctuary Thought

I'd found some peace Then I heard those heavy

footsteps coming from the trees He came up real

gentle

Put his big old head against my shoulder Started

making that awful growling noise

I said buddy that's not gonna work he licked

my face I moved to Diamond City he followed

me
