there's a story on a thimble
|
on a dimple, on a pea
|
and it's absolutely true until the end
|
when they pan out in the titles
|
we can see you're still alive
|
and the maitre'd is not your special friend
|
|
there's a road in a wrong place
|
twice as far out
|
and a bitch on a bridge
|
yeh the bridge was a bitch
|
with a heavenly drawn out roll of her lips
|
she undid the straps and smiled
|
|
that man will not hang
|
that man he will never hang
|
|
there's a man you should meet
|
and he might be under arrest
|
but believe me when i tell you he's ok
|
he ran the mohawk out of living rooms across the land
|
and introduced me to the joys of doubt
|
|
there's a dream, there's a barn
|
there was a story, it was a boring one
|
but honestly i tried to stay awake
|
born to hang and proud of it
|
i base my claim on credit
|
|
that man will not hang
|
that man he will never hang
|
|
he realised he wanted to have children with this girl
|
he pulled her to his side and quietly
|
gave away his heart like it was his to give away
|
|
wednesday the studio come knocking
|
excuse them but they need their property
|
gave away his heart like it was his to give away
|
