"Hangman" lyrics - STREETWALKERS

Pulled the switch, it cold, black as pitch
And shut the night off
Was it the hangman's jerk or just the trap-doors work
Oh, that choked him right off?

He had no time to have any say on that cold dark day
He just willing that trap, snap, shut again.

Then the tensions noose, it hit his nervous juice
And set him dancin', dancin' lightly on the winds smile
The hangman's knot, hit him cold then hot
And then it choked him, checked him, cut him up and broke away his lifestyle, yeah.

He had no time to have any say on that cold dark day
He just willing that trap, snap, shut again, oh yeah.

He had billowed eyes of sore surrounds
Blackened cheeks and stubbled jowls, they're still bleeding
He had his feet got torn from treading stone and nail
Angles ripped and bruised still flail but he ain't breathing, no, he ain't breathing.

He had no time to have any say on that cold, cold dark day
He just willing that trap, snap, shut again, ohhhh.
