Hanging Tree Lyrics
fear i might lose my composure without warning
i am a child of fire i am a lion i have desires
and i was born inside the sun this morning
this dizzy life is just a hanging tree
this dizzy life of mine keeps hanging me up all the time
this dizzy life is just a hanging tree
they say good morning when they wish you would go home
this dizzy life is just a hanging tree
this dizzy life of mine keeps hanging me up all the time
this dizzy life is just a hanging tree
and i know everyone is eventually leaving
i got a pair of wings for my birthday baby and i will fall down through the sun to see you mine
this dizzy life is just a hanging tree
this dizzy life of mine keeps hanging me up all the time
this dizzy life is just a hanging tree
"I am a child of fire I am a lion I have desires" This took on a different meaning when I found out he's a Leo. According to my mother (the old hippie who knows all the astrology crap ;p) being a Leo would make him a fire sign. Apparently...
Maybe part of it's about the duality and apathy of the general population "they say good morning when they wish you would go home"
This is a great song, from a great album.
This song is amazing. Definitely one of the standouts on the new album.
I like the new album and have enjoyed listening to tracks that have been leaked over the past several months ,but now I find myself drawn to this track, it gives me chills.
Great song. It falls within the first part of the album, Saturday Nights (when you sin), as opposed to the second part Sunday Mornings (when you repent) and fits in pretty well. I believe its basically saying he lives a whirlwind life with lots of wild habits which are also the sources of his problems. The verses are kind of non-sensical and random, fitting in with the type of personality he has (child of a lion, born inside the sun)
Catchy-est song on the new cd
