Hangman Blues

Ha ha ha

Ha ha haLife'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 jokeHa ha ha

Ha ha haThe clocks on the wall

Creeps higher.

Save save

Restraint restraint.

It's a joke

And I know who the hangman isA ship in a vial

A headstone on the wharf

And it will pin me

To the groundHa ha ha

Ha ha haAll the lights look green

So unbend

Your toughest smile

I think we've got

I think we've got

I think we've gotOne more mile
