I hung my wolves
Up high in the pine trees
Like cannonball sails
The fuckers wouldn’t stay hung
Somewhere somebody’s
Scarecrow is crying
How could I have not noticed
The hammers that done me in?

Oh where were you my kind ghosts when I needed you?
Oh where were you my kind ghosts when I needed you?

How could I have not noticed?
Drank whisky then water
How could I have not noticed
The hammers that done me in?
Lay with me my love
Lie awake in the magnolias
I swallowed the phantom
It forgot how to breath

Oh where were you my kind ghost when I needed you?
Oh where were you my kind ghost when I needed you?
Oh where were you my kind ghost when I needed you?
Oh where were you my kind ghost when I needed you?
When I needed you
When I needed you
