Hangman
Beat Happening

There's a little village near the center of Spain,

Where a jealous brother killed a cold-blooded Cain.

They had a dirty job that had to be done.

When they asked for takers, there was only one.

Cause I'm the hangman, yeah, hangman.

I'm the hangman, hangman, hangman...


I wake at four, wash my hands,

Drink to my god, atone for my sins.

Walk out to the yard, test the rope.

When the dawn breaks, I start to work,

Cause I'm the hangman, yeah, hangman.

I'm the hangman; cause I'm the hangman...

Hangman...



Make peace with yourself, cause I'm the hangman.

Hangman, yeah, the hangman, hangman..


Feel no guilt, I feel no shame,

I return to my family at the end of the day.

Sit and watch my son while he's out at play,

When he grows to be a man, he'll be just like me.

He'll be the hangman. I'm the hangman, yeah, hangman.

I'm the hangman, hangman...
