hangman blues

Singer:bill callahan

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
