Richard Hung Himself Lyrics - The Complete Demos 1980-1986 - Adolescents

Popped the door of the hinges of his closet 

Black curtained doorway and into the death room 

Took out the ceiling and climbed into the attic 

Tied the ropes to the rafter and he snapped into his doom 

'Cause Richard hung himself 

Richard hung himself 

Just the other day they talking Richard hung himself 

They said that Richard hung himself 

They said too many reasons for him to cease to exist 

And not enough reasons for him to want to stay 

Looking for an escape, a better way than this 

He may have found it or may have lost the way 

'Cause Richard hung himself 

Richard hung himself 

Just the other day they talking Richard hung himself 

They said that Richard hung himself 

Switch to Pomona behind the cornfield 

Around back, underground, where the trees shield 

In the corner of the yard, another death room 

Where the dead are buried in an unmarked tomb 

Stiff blue painted cat wired to the roof 

Cyanide in the darkness and dangling goat hooves 

Floor covered in dirt, dead grass, and decay 

Now Richard joins them and calls it escape 

Just the other day they talking Richard hung himself 

They said that Richard hung himself 

They said that 

'Cause Richard hung himself 

'Cause Richard hung himself 

I know Richard hung himself 

'Cause Richard hung himself 

'Cause Richard hung himself
