Don’t Turn Your Back on a Deathclaw

[Intro – shouted over guitar riff] ♪ You can outrun ghouls, you can duck the raiders’ draw… But don’t you turn your back on a Deathclaw! ♪ [Verse 1] He’s tall, he’s mean, got claws of steel, Scales so tough they barely feel, You hear that roar, you best not pause, That ain’t no kitty — that’s Deathclaw claws! [Chorus] Don’t turn your back on a Deathclaw, He’ll make you wish you never saw, Those teeth so sharp, that grin so wide, You’ll see your shadow run and hide! Don’t turn your back on a Deathclaw, When the ground starts to shake — say “aw, naw!” Just grab your boots and start to haul, Don’t turn your back on a Deathclaw! [Verse 2] He moves so fast you’ll miss the flash, One swing — goodbye, your stash! He don’t want caps or fancy clothes, Just tender meat and traveler toes! [Chorus – reprise] Don’t turn your back on a Deathclaw, He don’t obey no human law, You can beg, you can pray, you can climb that wall, But he’s still comin’ for you, y’all! [Bridge – spoken over guitar solo] I once saw a fella try to tame one — Named it “Fluffy.” Fluffy ate him. [Verse 3] So if you’re wanderin’ by the ridge tonight, And you hear that low growl, don’t take it light, That ain’t the wind or the thunder’s draw — That’s somethin’ hungry, and he wants *you*, paw! [Final Chorus] Don’t turn your back on a Deathclaw, He’ll leave you flat, he’ll drop your jaw, Best keep movin’, don’t you stall, Don’t turn your back— (Band hit) —on a Deathclaw! [Outro – guitar twang and fade] ♪ You can run all day… but he still knows your way. ♪
