Old hope got stuck in your throat, Wound it's way round your neck caused you to choke.
That old hope made a rope, that held you tight as the chair legs broke.
When they found you hanging in the ward, you said at least now I don't have to kind or good. I'll be cruel and I'll be obscene tear out my tongue cause I've been redeemed.
When they found you hanging in the ward, you said at least now I don't have to kind or good. I'll be cruel and I'll be obscene tear out my tongue Cause I've been redeemed. Save my blushes for the grave, no shy glance, no coy restraint, and I wont hang my head, and I wont repent, wont face the wall and count to ten
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10...
Well they tore you down and they tore out your tongue and they made you kneel for all the things that you'd done. but you wouldn't cry, and you wouldn't beg, you just grinned and tore out your teeth instead.
And when they found you hanging in the ward, you said at least now I don't have to kind or good. I'll be cruel and I'll be obscene tear out my tongue cause I've been redeemed.
