HANGING MAN
Everybody looks to me
I’m always looking to another star
The leaves on the trees call to me
Mathematics of music ring in my ear

I climb high above the city
I climb high I catch a star
I shine high above the city
I shine high I shine far

I do what I can but knowledge hangs the man
My head’s in a heavenly body
Mouth buried in the sand
And time is running out for the hanging man

I won’t look that way two times
I won’t be that thing again
I will cast no shadow
I will have no stone to throw

I swim away from the city
I feel cold I feel fear
I swim away from the city
I swim strong I swim clear

I do what I can but knowledge hangs the man
My head’s in a heavenly body
Mouth buried in the sand
And time is running out for the hanging man

I got my head above the water
I got my head above the water
I got my head above the water
But
Knowledge hangs the man
