[Chorus]
I dreamed I saw the hangman cry
I dreamed I saw the hangman cry

[Verse 1]
One fine day
They bring you the bill
It's the bill for your life
You can't pay
My old friend
In trouble again
It's trouble again
Your old friend

[Pre-Chorus]
Long past midnight
We were talking on and on
You're looking past me
Looking past me, longing to be gone
Over there life will be better
The sky is blue
Over there grass is greener
And the truth is true
Over there cops arе thinner
Your eyes arе dry
You can make it through the mirror
Through the mirror if you try
[Chorus]
And I dreamed I saw the hangman cry
I dreamed I saw the hangman cry
I dreamed I saw the hangman cry
I dreamed I saw the hangman cry

[Verse 2]
It's all too much
The shouts and the sighs
The lovers, the lies
The soft touch
Much too much
The dope and the death
The cold, cold sweat
The soft touch

[Pre-Chorus]
Long past midnight
We were talking on and on
You're looking past me
Looking past me, longing to be gone
Over there life will be better
The sky is blue
Over there the grass is greener
And the truth is true
Over there cops are thinner
All eyes are dry
You can make it through the mirror
Through the mirror if you try
Hey
Hey, hey, hey
[Chorus]
And I dreamed I saw the hangman cry
I dreamed I saw the hangman cry
And I dreamed I saw the hangman cry
I dreamed I saw the hangman cry

[Outro]
The hangman cry (Dreamed I saw the hangman cry)
The hangman cry (Dreamed I saw the hangman cry)
Dreamed, hangman cry (Dreamed I saw the hangman cry)
Dreamed, hangman cry (Dreamed I saw the hangman cry), cry
(Dreamed I saw the hangman cry) Cry
(Dreamed)
