Hang 'Em High

Somewhere, he lost it in a turn

Now trouble seems to fit him like a glove

First come, first served, he's serving it back

He travels light, without a pack, without love

He comes from nowhere, returns on his own

Late for the hanging, yes, he's headed for the moon

Hang 'em high

Leather 'cross his thighs

Blasting out the night, he's terrified to drive

One eye on the road, crashed upon his head

One ear to the ground, he's listening to the dead

He comes from nowhere, returns on his own

Late for the hanging, yes, he's headed for the moon

Hang 'em high

Blind to himself, he's laughing up his scheme

Looking back in anger, the city is relieved

Vision of light, child of the night passing by

Blind to himself, he's laughing up his scheme

Looking back in anger, the city is relieved

A vision of light, child of the night passing by

Leather 'cross his thighs

Blasting out the night, he's terrified to drive

One eye on the road, crashed upon his head

One ear to the ground, he's listening to the dead

He comes from nowhere, returns on his own

Late for the hanging, yes, he's headed for the moon

Hang 'em high
