lyrics

THE HANGWOMAN


I remind her of someone she used to know.
According to her, he looked just like me.
Our hair like trampled grass
around our face like forest pathways.
Three of us,
two in the present,
one in passing.


What happened to him, will it happen to me?
What happened to him, will it happen to me?
What happened to him, will it happen to me?


I remind her of someone she used to know.
According to her, he looked just like me.
Our voice like heavy hands
pull off the shoes of our tired madam.
Three of us,
two jealous Eves,
one lonesome Adam.


What happened to him, will it happen to me?
The hangwoman doesn't speak.
She has no answers and no questions.
Crying slithering on her cheeks.


I remind her of someone she used to know.
According to her, he looked just like me.
Seperate siamese,
uniting only in her dreams.
The three of us,
two see above,
one cannot see.


What happened to him, will it happen to me?
What happened to him, will it happen to me?
What happened to him, will it happen to me?
The hangwoman doesn't speak


I remind her of someone she used to know.
I remind her of someone she used to know.
