Spooky Tooth - Hangman Hang My Shell on a Tree lyrics

Someone said he who knows he knows, knows nothing, yeah He who knows he knows nothing, really knows But I have searched and I never could find A way to make my true self unwind And while I sit here waiting to die I can see where I am and can tell you why The time's right ahead, can't you see 'Cause my life's running out, out on me I've forgotten how it was, let me be So hangman hang my shell on a tree It's all so easy, like the time when I first learned, yeah It's all the same, since the day the world first turned, yeah But I never tried to listen or wait And now it's so clear but for me it's too late And so I sit here trying not to cry I only wanted peace but now I must die The time's right ahead, can't you see 'Cause my life's running out, out on me I've forgotten how it was, let me be So hangman hang my shell on a tree The time's right ahead, can't you see 'Cause my life's running out, out on me I've forgotten how it was, let me be So hangman hang my shell on a tree The time's right ahead, can't you see 'Cause my life's running out, out on me I've forgotten how it was, let me be So hangman hang my shell on a tree The time's right ahead, can't you see 'Cause my life's running out, out on me I've forgotten how it was, let me be So hangman hang my shell on a tree (Repeat to fade out)
