lyrics

Twirling sheets / Soaked in sweat
A mad hangover / And a twenty grand debt

Hurling my feet / Out of the bed
Thinking to myself / I'd be better off dead

Look out the window / Now what do I see
A thin man swaying in the wind / From a sycamore tree

A thick good rope / Broad smiling teeth
As he stares bug-eyed / Right back at me

This ain't no good / This is all bad news
He's got my flannel suit / And my leather shoes

As I cut him down / I say "I never knew,
I never knew I had / A twin brother like you"

And as I drag him inside / I say "Now listen to me,
There is somebody else / Gonna hang from that tree"

"With a thick good rope / And broad smiling teeth
And a bug-eyed stare / Insted of you or me"
