Lyrics

I am born to hang
Well it's all healthy news
In a nutshell this means
That I never have to live like you

I am born to hang
But not to have kids
And to never be wed, no
To someone who I don't even love

Hang the noose
It'll eventually come loose

When you're born to hang
Time is so strange
And love doesn't come, no
Or if it comes then it comes too late

And the song that we sing
It rings in our heads
It's flowing with dread
Because it's all that we know

Hang the noose
Let it not be loose

When you're born to hang
Time is so strange
And love doesn't come
Or when it comes it comes too late

And the song that we sing
It sings in our heads
And it's flowing with dread
Because it's all that we know

And the world
Is flowing in our head
