Lyrics

Hangman take these heads from me

Request for the hangman to remove the burden or consequences represented by "heads."

And swing 'em from your money tree

Suggesting that the hangman profits or gains from the consequences, comparing it to a "money tree."

Hear me laughing in my steps

Expressing joy or amusement in the face of impending consequences, possibly indicating defiance.

These heads are yours, they're yours to keep

Acknowledging that the consequences, symbolized by "heads," belong to the hangman.


Please don't skip the last details

Emphasizing the importance of paying attention to the smallest details, possibly to avoid negative outcomes.

Rewards are yours beyond the pale

Highlighting potential rewards for meticulous attention, extending beyond conventional limits ("beyond the pale").

And if you slip, just look around

If a mistake occurs, urging the hangman to assess the surroundings for a solution.

Your wrists are shackled to the crowd

Illustrating a sense of entrapment, with consequences ("wrists are shackled") tied to a collective ("the crowd").


Hangman is your passenger

Repetition emphasizing the hangman's role as a constant companion or force in the journey of life.

Hangman is your passenger

-

Hangman is your passenger

-

The hangman is your passenger tonight

Reiterating that the hangman is a present and active force in the current situation.


Stretching the rope with one of his hands

Describing the hangman's physical appearance and actions, underlining the watchful and judgmental nature.

And in one of his hands he holds a bible

-

Looks at the road with one of his eyes

-

And with one of his eyes he will watch you driving

-

Hangman is your passenger

Reinforcing that the hangman is a companion in the current circumstance.

The hangman is your passenger tonight

-

Hangman take these heads from me

Repetition of the initial request for the hangman to take away the consequences ("heads").

And swing 'em from your money tree

Reiterating the connection between the consequences and the hangman's gain or profit ("money tree").

Wagered on the judgement call

Referring to a bet or risk taken on a judgment, potentially suggesting a gamble with consequences.

But every time you lost it all

Highlighting a pattern of losing everything with each gamble or risky decision.
