lyrics

1. This Is A Hanging
Dropped a bomb on the east-side
Call me butterfingers
And I won't say you're wrong
Rhumbaed out of the rubble
Signed the surrender
Now I'm singing this song
For once I'm on the level
And I'm doing something noble
Weasel out of this
Annihilation will be total
And I'm right for the first time
In my life
If you don't mind
I'm bringing out the dead

Mastermind making speeches
Gets down off his soapbox
Now there's nothing to do
My reputation precedes me
Rides a Sherman tank
Waving red, black and blue
Put Hitler on the funny pages
Next to Li'l Abner
Things were running swell
'Till someone offered me a hammer
Now I'm down on my knees and
I'm fitting the pieces
And bringing out the dead
We're standing on burning rooftops
We're hanging from barren trees
A hundred raging housewives howling
Like a thousand hell-bound fiends
The wind and rain
Set you down

I will wade into this river
Waiting there
I'll find your name
The years go by
I stumble after
With all of the plans I've made
To rake the coals in Heaven

Where's the rest of this story?
Advice to the lovelorn
Cat's had kittens--again
I fell outta that window
The doctor's laying bets
He's afraid I may live
Make sure your accusations
All are in the proper manner
You're barking up the wrong tree
After all, this is a hanging
I'm the judge and the jury
And the verdict is guilty
I'm bringing out the dead

"Steam powered fantasia with a touch of the wild, wild west and one of a kind mechanical instruments. If Melies had been a songwriter instead of film director, his music would probably have sounded something like this."
