Hangman Blues

Ha ha ha

Ha ha ha



Life's a joke

A waiting game now

A juggling of vices

Tiny tiny vices

And they don't anchor me

To the ground

I know who the hangman is

So life's a joke



Ha ha ha

Ha ha ha



The clocks on the wall

Creeps higher

Save save

Restraint restraint

It's a joke

And I know who the hangman is



A ship in a vial

A headstone on the wharf

And it will pin me

To the ground



Ha ha ha

Ha ha ha



All the lights look green

So unbend

Your toughest smile

I think we've got

I think we've got

I think we've got



One more mile
