Bird On A Wire Lyrics - Rhino Bucket

By the rivers down south 

There's gonna be a hangin' 

He took the life of another man's wife 

The evidence was damning 

Let me simplify 

Justice will be served 

Let no one stand in our way 

Let no one be concerned 

In his eyes there was no regret 

But you could feel the snap of his neck 

They had all been friends 

The couple and this man 

And there was something wrong 

With the story at hand 

But I was blind with rage 

And I was blind with hate 

But now I had my doubts 

But now it was too late 

In his eyes there was no more pain 

I think we'll have ourselves a hangin' again 

Like a bird on a wire 

One day they'll come for me 

But I have no fear 

I only did what I thought was right 

Cast a stone if you dare 

And so I stand alone 

Before this great debate 

But beware my words 

As you seal my fate 

In my eyes there was no regret 

But you could feel the snap of my neck 

Like a bird on a wire 

In his eyes there was no more pain 

I don't think this brid'll fly again 

By the rivers down south 

They had a bunch of hangings 

They took the lives of everyone there 

You know it was quite savage 

But they were blind with rage 

And they were blind with hate 

And so I stood alone 

Like a bird on a wire
