There's a story on a thimble on a dimple, on a pea   And it's absolutely true until the end   When they pan out in the titles, we can see you're still alive   And the maitre'd is not your special friend      There's a road in a wrong place, twice as far out   And a bitch on a bridge, yeah the bridge was a bitch   With a heavenly drawn out roll of her lips   She undid the straps and smiled      That man will not hang   That man, he will never hang   That man will not hang   That man, he will never hang      That man will not hang   That man, he will never hang   That man will not hang   That man, he will never hang      There's a man you should meet and he might be under arrest   But believe me when I tell you, "He's okay"   He ran the Mohawk out of living rooms across the land   And introduced me to the joys of doubt      There's a dream, there's a barn   There was a story, it was a boring one   But honestly I tried to stay awake   Born to hang and proud of it, I base my claim on credit      That man will not hang   That man, he will never hang   That man will not hang   That man, he will never hang      That man will not hang   That man, he will never hang   That man will not hang   That man, he will never hang      That man will not hang   That man, he will never hang   That man will not hang   That man, he will never hang      That man will not hang   That man, he will never hang   That man will not hang   That man      He realized he wanted to have children with this girl   He pulled her to his side and quietly   Gave away his heart like it was his to give away   Gave away his heart like it was his to give away      Wednesday the studio come knocking   Excuse them but they need their property   Gave away his heart like it was his to give away   Gave away his heart like it was his to give away      Gave away his heart like it was his to give away   Gave away his heart like it was his to give away   Gave away his heart like it was his to give away   Gave away his heart like it was his to give away
