The Man with Hanging Arms - Yann Tiersen

I am the hanging man I hang, I never land I steal the space between The filthy and the clean Healer, come here soon Come to fill my spoon Healer, heal my wound I'm a dog, I eat the moon Healer, heal my lust Fill my mouth with rust Healer, hold my hand Fill my mouth with sand Healer, kill this lamb I am the hanging man I am the hanging man I am, I am, I am, I am, I am I am, I am, I am, I am, I am not I am not, I am not I am not, I am not I am not Here I lie, abject Healer, teeth are red Force my legs apart Healer, hold my heart Healer, cut my spine Healer, eat my mind Write it on the sky These stars reveal the lie Hold the glowing sphere There is no there or here Healer, hold my hand I am the hanging man I am the hanging man I am, I am, I am, I am, I am I am, I am, I am, I am, I am I am not I am not what I just thought I'm not what I just thought I am not, I am not I am not, we are not We are not, not, not, not Who is the watcher who's watching this thought Whose thought is a thought that is not what he thought? Not, shot, knot

Well it was many moons ago That I just did what I was told When I was hanging out with all the wrong people I stole a car, I robbed a bank I siphoned gas out of a tank I made decisions some would call illegal It all came catching up to me Right at the age of 23 I met the consequence of reckless ego They cuffed my hands, led me to jail Then gave me 20 months, no bail Said I'd been hanging out with all the wrong people Hanging out with all the wrong people I was hanging out with all the wrong people And if I'm never seen again, please tell my wife and tell my friends That I was hanging out with all the wrong people Well, a long, long time ago There was a guy I used to know That said he fell in love for all the wrong reasons She got the house, she took the cat She got the shirt right off his back And now she's living in the Caribbean There was a girl from down the road Who had a heart as pure as gold Friends took her to a church in San Francisco They promised love, eternal life All for a very special price Then drained her savings 'til she blew the whistle Hanging out with all the wrong people I was hanging out with all the wrong people And if I'm never seen again, please tell my wife and tell my friends That I was hanging out with all the wrong people Hanging out with all the wrong people I was hanging out with all the wrong people They told me time and time again To watch my back or I'll regret Sometimes intentions are just downright evil People All the wrong people People Oh I tell ya now as I look back Driving my brand new Cadillac I'm still a criminal but selling fiction I'm stealing votes and taking bribes To hide my mistress on the side I found my calling as a politician Hanging out with all the wrong people I was hanging out with all the wrong people And if I'm never seen again, please tell my wife and tell my friends That I was hanging out with all the wrong people Hanging out with all the wrong people I was hanging out with all the wrong people They told me time and time again To watch my back or I'll regret Sometimes intentions are just downright evil They told me time and time again You'll end up broke or left for dead If you keep hanging out with all the wrong people

When I hang with you A world without a worry Nothin' that I'd rather do Here we go, not again Crossin' lines, try our best to pretend That we're just friends You know how it ends What goes up must come down Never thought you and I would be bound For somethin' like this You're a dangerous kiss But when you're not around There's a voice in my head tellin' me to stop But I just can't deny That when I hang with you Days turn into minutes Sun is wakin' up the moon Everything is new We landed on a planet Only big enough for two And all in all that's all I ever wanted you to know That when I hang with you A world without a worry Nothin' that I'd rather do Breakin' rules, tellin' lies I don't mind if you stay for a while It's in your eyes Oh, it feels so right And in this city, no one's this pretty Yeah, and I mean it When I say that I'm havin' the time The time of my life But when you're not around There's a voice in my head tellin' me to stop But I just can't deny That when I hang with you Days turn into minutes Sun is wakin' up the moon Everything is new We landed on a planet Only big enough for two And all in all that's all I ever wanted you to know That when I hang with you A world without a worry Nothin' that I'd rather do Hangin' with you Hangin' with you Hangin' with you Hangin' with you And in this city, no one's this pretty Yeah, and I mean it When I say that I'm havin' the time Time of my life
