Song Lyrics

Hang me
You hang me like tinsel upon your words
Like twilight entwined in the day's awful nerves
Are these our measures?
Is this what we deserve?
I've been all around this world

Hang me
You hang me as though crows would scatter afraid
How quiet these lives that our mothers and fathers have made
We speak in shadows
Our shadows are lost in the shade
I've been all around this world

Hang me
You hang me
But how hungry and stubborn we shift
These moons are too many, these bodies too swift
I think of you often in a dress set gently adrift
I've been all around this world

Hang me
You hang me like curtains in front of a storm
Like a highway of ribbons
Like a love I should never have worn
This is our home
This house is where you were born
I've been all around this world
