Ballade of suicide Songtext
von donkerbot

The gallows in the garden, people say
Is new and neat and adequately tall
I tie the noose on in a knowing way
As one that knots his necktie for a ball
But just as all the neighbours, on the wall
Are drawing a long breath to shout, "Hurray!"
The strangest whim has seized me, after all
I think I will not hang myself today

The gallows in the garden, people say
Is new and neat and adequately tall
I tie the noose on in a knowing way
As one that knots his necktie for a ball
But just as all the neighbours, on the wall
Are drawing a long breath to shout, "Hurray!"
The strangest whim has seized me, after all
I think I will not hang myself today

I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I think I will not hang myself today


Prince, I can hear the trumpet of Germinal
The tumbrils toiling up the terrible way
Even today your royal head may fall
I think I will not hang myself today

The gallows in the garden, people say
Is new and neat and adequately tall
I tie the noose on in a knowing way
As one that knots his necktie for a ball
But just as all the neighbours, on the wall
Are drawing a long breath to shout, "Hurray!"
The strangest whim has seized me, after all
I think I will not hang myself today

The gallows in the garden, people say
Is new and neat and adequately tall
I tie the noose on in a knowing way
As one that knots his necktie for a ball
But just as all the neighbours, on the wall
Are drawing a long breath to shout, "Hurray!"
The strangest whim has seized me, after all
I think I will not hang myself today
