The Hanging Man Songtext
von Swans

I am the hanging man
I hang, I never land
I steal the space between
The filthy and the clean

Healer, come here soon
Come to fill my spoon
Healer, heal my wound
I′m a dog, I eat the moon

Healer, heal my lust
Fill my mouth with rust
Healer, hold my hand
Fill my mouth with sand

Healer, kill this lamb
I am the hanging man
I am the hanging man


I am, I am, I am, I am, I am
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am not
I am not, I am not
I am not, I am not
I am not

Here I lie, abject
Healer, teeth are red
Force my legs apart
Healer, hold my heart

Healer, cut my spine
Healer, eat my mind
Write it on the sky
These stars reveal the lie
Hold the glowing sphere
There is no there or here

Healer, hold my hand
I am the hanging man
I am the hanging man


I am, I am, I am, I am, I am
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am
I am not
I am not what I just thought
I'm not what I just thought
I am not, I am not
I am not, we are not
We are not, not, not, not

Who is the watcher who′s watching this thought
Whose thought is a thought that is not what he thought?
Not, shot, knot
