Marry Hangman
I’m walking down the dusty road,
And they are watching me;
Reading in their eyes:
“You’ll get what you deserve,
That’s what we’re gonna see”.
But I am smiling still,
Rising on a scaffold,
And there is just one word,
That they will hear from me:
Oh, I’ll laugh, laugh at your faces,
Inhale the smoke of sweet cigarette,
I travelled through times and spaces,
Can’t imagine all pleasures I had!
But I won’t cry, won’t get sad,
The stupid crowed won’t make me mad,
The next moment I will die,
Cause I’m the one what’ve been alive!
The sun will never rise for me again,
I won’t see the rainbow,
That’ll be no more summer rain;
That’ll be no drinks, that’ll be no fights,
That’ll be no singing till the morning lights;
No laughing with a friend,
No love delights…
And there’s won’t be the crime I do,
Yes the sun won’t rise for me,
Has it ever rise for you?...
