Got some news for you my friend
Got some noose not news to me
Got some news to screw your friends
Got some noose too tight on me

It's killing me alright
It's killing me alright

You can't even if you try to give us enough
Rope

Got to choose between your friends
Got to choose without regret
Got to choose just what you say
Got to choose and not forget

It's killing me alright
It's killing me alright

You can't even if you try to give us enough
You can't even if you try to give us enough
Rope

Brittle rope burning around my hands
Brittle rope burning around my arms
Brittle rope burning around my neck
Burning around my neck in smoking flames
It's killing me alright
It's killing me alright

You want a sucker
A sucker
To suck on
A suck on
What you're sucking
A sucker
To suck on
A suck on
What you're sucking
A sucker
To suck on
A suck on
What you're sucking
A sucker
To suck on
A suck on
What you're sucking

Got to save all that pretense
Got to save all that's not real
Got to save some privacy
Got to save some of your mind
It's killing me alright
It's killing me alright

You can't even if you try
To give us enough
You can't even if you try
To give us enough
Rope
