Hangman Hang My Shell On A Tree Lyrics - Spooky Two - Spooky Tooth

Someone said he who knows he knows, knows nothing, yeah 

He who knows he knows nothing, really knows 

But I have searched and I never could find 

A way to make my true self unwind 

And while I sit here waiting to die 

I can see where I am and can tell you why 

The time's right ahead, can't you see 

'Cause my life's running out, out on me 

I've forgotten how it was, let me be 

So hangman hang my shell on a tree 

It's all so easy, like the time when I first learned, yeah 

It's all the same, since the day the world first turned, yeah 

But I never tried to listen or wait 

And now it's so clear but for me it's too late 

And so I sit here trying not to cry 

I only wanted peace but now I must die 

The time's right ahead, can't you see 

'Cause my life's running out, out on me 

I've forgotten how it was, let me be 

So hangman hang my shell on a tree 

The time's right ahead, can't you see 

'Cause my life's running out, out on me 

I've forgotten how it was, let me be 

So hangman hang my shell on a tree 

The time's right ahead, can't you see 

'Cause my life's running out, out on me 

I've forgotten how it was, let me be 

So hangman hang my shell on a tree 

The time's right ahead, can't you see 

'Cause my life's running out, out on me 

I've forgotten how it was, let me be 

So hangman hang my shell on a tree 

(Repeat to fade out)
