Bob Mould - Hanging Tree lyrics
[Bob Mould - Hanging Tree lyrics]
Another exit on the freeway
Another bridge I cannot bear to cross alone
And I've been on the mend
I've been getting ready to
Change my name again
And once I had a love so fair
Once I had a reason to keep on
Left a paragraph taped up on my door
It said "Don't wait up 'cause
I ain't comin' home again"
So I've been driving far and wide
To find my call-in life
Been looking for a place where I belong, yeah
I guess a little pain never killed anyone
I guess I feel that way again
I can't come clean, I cannot stay
Got no reason to explain
I've been here too long, I need a change
And I hope you'll understand
Stained glass window never gonna
Carry my name been laid to rest in a
Field of sticks and stones
And above my head all
That's left are footsteps
Of some kid too young too far away from home
So don't send me invitations
To your big parade
Place of residence unknown
In my eyes there is no compromise
There is no calm before the storm
These things happen all the time
Should I throw myself from the hanging tree?
Is there a place for those
Of us who don't belong?
I haven't found it yet
Another bridge I cannot bear to cross alone
And I've been on the mend
I've been getting ready to
Change my name again
And once I had a love so fair
Once I had a reason to keep on
Left a paragraph taped up on my door
It said "Don't wait up 'cause
I ain't comin' home again"
So I've been driving far and wide
To find my call-in life
Been looking for a place where I belong, yeah
I guess a little pain never killed anyone
I guess I feel that way again
I can't come clean, I cannot stay
Got no reason to explain
I've been here too long, I need a change
And I hope you'll understand
Stained glass window never gonna
Carry my name been laid to rest in a
Field of sticks and stones
And above my head all
That's left are footsteps
Of some kid too young too far away from home
So don't send me invitations
To your big parade
Place of residence unknown
In my eyes there is no compromise
There is no calm before the storm
These things happen all the time
Should I throw myself from the hanging tree?
Is there a place for those
Of us who don't belong?
I haven't found it yet
