hangout at the gallows

Singer:father john misty

sun is rising

black is turning blue

look out

buddy

noah's calling

jesus

man

what did you do?

psychic terrorists

in the upper room

left foot

right foot

that's the ticket

you'll be back on top real soon

whose bright idea was it to sharpen the knives?

just twenty minutes 'fore the boat capsized

if you want an answer

it's anybody's guess

i'm treading water as i bleed to death

what's your politics?

what's your religion?

what's your intake?

your reason for living?

in your compositions

at the start of every song

find you waking in the morning

always there to greet the dawn

trouble sleeping

my alarm goes off

so you wanna hangout at the gallows?

those guys get an early start

oh

whose bright idea was it to sharpen the knives?

just twenty minutes 'fore the boat capsized

if you want an answer

it's anybody's guess

i'm treading water as i bleed to death

what's your politics?

what's your religion?

what's your intake?

your reason for living?

oh

oh what's your politics?

what's your religion?

what's your intake?

your reason for living?
