Members Cripes Posted March 22, 2007 Members Share Posted March 22, 2007 Two Hangmen As I rode into Tombstone On my horse, his name is Mac I saw what I relate to you Going on behind my back It seems the folks were up in arms A man now had to die For believing things that didn't fit The laws they'd set aside The man's name was I'm-A-Freak And the best that I could see He was an executioner A hangman just like me I guess that he'd seen loopholes From working with his rope He'd hung the wrong man many times So now he turned to hope He talked to all the people From his scaffold in the square He told them of the things he'd found But they didn't seem to care He said the laws were obsolete A change they should demand But the people only walked away He couldn't understand Now, the marshall's name was Uncle Sam And he said he'd right this wrong He'd make that hangman shut his mouth If it took him all year long He finally arrested Freak And then he sent for me To hang a fellow hangman From a fellow hangman's tree It didn't take them long to try him In there court of law He was guilty then of thinking A crime much worse than all They sentenced him to die So as seed, a thought can't spread And infect the little children That's what the law had said Well, hanging day came 'round And he walked up to the noose I pulled the lever but before he fell I cut him loose They called it all a conspiracy And then I had to die So, to close our mouths and kill our minds They hung us side-by-side And now we're two hangmen Hanging from a tree That don't bother me At all...

Members moctzal Posted March 22, 2007 Members Share Posted March 22, 2007 I know that there's a point I missed A shrine or stone I haven't kissed A scar that never graced my wrist A mirror that hasn't met my fist But I can't help feeling like I'm due for a miracle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rickkkk Posted March 22, 2007 Members Share Posted March 22, 2007 Within an hour the news had reached the media machine A male caucasian with a gun had gone berserk in Queens The area had been sealed off, the kids sent home from school Fourteen people lying dead in a bar they called the Kicking Mule Oh they pleaded to your sanity for the sake of those inside "Throw out your gun, walk out slow just keep your hands held high" But they pumped you full of rifle shells as you stepped out the door Oh you danced in death like a marionette on the vengeance of the law "You've slept too long in silence" Mama said Remember Mama said Ticking, ticking "Crazy boy, you'll only wind up with strange notions in your head" Hear it, hear it, ticking, ticking ... Wow ... Baba ... I was surprised to see this song pop up. Always been one of my favourite Elton John tunes .. .Great piano playing on that too. :thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members denvertrakker Posted March 22, 2007 Members Share Posted March 22, 2007 Rain drippin' off the brim of my hat, it sure looks cold today Here I am walkin' down 66, wish she hadn't done me this way Sleepin' under a table in a roadside park a man could wake up dead But it sure seems warmer than it did sleeping in our king size bed Is anybody going to San Antone or Phoenix Arizona Any place is all right as long as I can forget I've ever known her Wind whippin' down the neck of my shirt like I ain't got nothin on But I'd rather fight the wind and rain than what I was fightin' at home Is anybody going to San Antone or Phoenix Arizona Any place is all right as long as I can forget I've ever known her. Yonder comes a truck with the U.S. mail, people writin' letters back home Well, tomorrow she'll want me back again and I'll be just as gone Is anybody going to San Antone or Phoenix Arizona Any place is all right as long as I can forget I've ever known her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rickkkk Posted March 22, 2007 Members Share Posted March 22, 2007 Crimson flames tied through my ears Rollin' high and mighty traps Pounced with fire on flaming roads Using ideas as my maps "We'll meet on edges, soon," said I Proud 'neath heated brow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. :thu: :thu: !!!! Superb song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rickkkk Posted March 22, 2007 Members Share Posted March 22, 2007 Take me to the night I'm tipping Topsy turvy turning upside down. Hold me close and whisper what you will For there is no-one else around. Oh, you can sing-song me sweet smiles Regardless of the city's careless frown. Come watch the no colors fade blazing Into petaled sprays of violets of dawn. Some Prince Charming I'll be on two white steeds To bring you dappled diamond crowns And climb your tower, Sleeping Beauty, 'Fore you know I've even left the ground. You can wear a Cinderella Snow White Alice Wonderlanded gown. Come see the no colors fade blazing Into petaled sprays of violets of dawn. But if I seem to wander off in dream-like looks Please let me settle slowly. It's only me just starin' out at you, A seeming stranger speaking holy. No, I don't mean to wake you up, It's only loneliness just coming on. So let the no colors fade blazing Into petaled sprays of violets of dawn. Like shadows bursting into mist Behind the echoes of this nonsense song It's just the chasing, whispering trails Of secret steps, oh see them laughing on. There's magic in the sleepiness Of waking to a childish sounding yawn. Come see the no colors fade blazing Into petaled sprays of violets of dawn. Thank you, Eric:) :thu: :thu: WOW ...
