about

The EP cover art is a nod to this track. We're not always very wise about who we love...

lyrics

Well I guess I should take the hint
God knows I've had enough experience
But each time, it's more difficult than the last
And each time I get a little more trashed

It spins me around and around and around
See my feet? They don't touch the ground
I know every step of this miserable dance
Whoa the Hangman's Waltz
It goes...one, two, three
Promise me nothing
In a knot round my throat
Ah pull away the chair
Watch me swing on my own rope

I would sit this one out if I were you
Don't you think I'd escape if I thought that I could?
My boots full of demons, my belly full of lies
My mouth full of blood, it is Bedlam inside

It spins me around and around and around
See my feet? They don't touch the ground
I know every step of this miserable dance
Whoa the Hangman's Waltz
It goes...one, two, three
Promise me nothing
In a knot round my throat
Ah pull away the chair
Watch me swing on my own rope

Oh it spins me around and around and around
See my feet? They don't touch the ground
Trick me, kick me, pin a card on my back
Better make it The Fool
I'm a zero.
One, two, three
One, two, three

One, two, three-ah-ha-ha
