Fantastic Liars - The Hangman's Death Lyrics

Do you remember when we were walking back
From the other side of town and you were begging for slack
And you were hanging back and you were falling down
What were you thinking when the dawn rolled around
You must've laughed out loud, pitifully proud
You made the moon step back when the sun came out

Now you've gone and done it kid
You took what you wanted at the price of what you needed
Now you've gone and done it kid
You had your cake and now you want to eat it

There was a time and place we might've had a chance
But I got nervous and you just continued the dance
There was plenty of time to make the wrongs we made right
So I wrote a new song to keep our lips sealed tight
But you just sang along and helped me make the bed
For the body of the hangman to lie in when he's dead

Now we've gone and done it kid
We took what we wanted at the price of what we needed
Now you've gone and done it kid
You had your cake and now you want to eat it

And while the old world burned you passed up your turn
And they scattered his ashes at the end of the Earth
You know it hurt to learn how we were so easily fed
It's such hard living now that the hangman is dead
So we fight for scraps and dread each baby's breath
And long for the time before the hangman's death

While the ashes were all passed around the Earth barely made a sound
The ashes were all passed around and the urn turned upside down
Now you've gone and done it kid
You took what you wanted at the price of what we needed
And now it's gone
