"Ancient History" lyrics - NILS LOFGREN

I was a future till she spied
She wove a web no one could see
I really shook and never cried
Till her sights took dead aim at me

The graveyard thought surrounds me
Her evil spirit hounds me
I may not shun her hungry gun

Yes she did find a place for me
And filed as 'Ancient History'

Felt my car swerve off the bridge
She watched it blazing in my face
If you ask her what's left of me
I know she'll swear there's not a trace

She'll tell you she's not cruel
But mister you're a fool
And you will face that hungry gun

And when she finally sets you free
You'll be filed 'Ancient History'
And you'll be filed right next to me
Next to me, Ancient History

Now you would think the law could tell
A vicious killer miles away
She holds cards deep in hell
And all the clues have all been burned away

The graveyard fog surrounds me
Her evil demon hounds me
I may not own her hungry gun

Yes, she did find a place for me
I'm filed as 'Ancient History'
Oh yeah she finally set me free
Set me free, Ancient History
