I am the hanging man
I hang, I never land
I steal the space between
The filthy and the clean
Healer, come here soon
Come to fill my spoon

Healer, heal my wound

I am a dog: I eat the moon

Healer, heal my lust

Fill my mouth with rust

Healer, hold my hand

Fill my mouth with sand

Healer, kill this lamb

Healer, hang this man!



I am the hanging man

I am the hanging man

I am, I am, I am, I am

I am, I am, I am, I am

I am, I am, I am, I am

I am not I am NOT!

I am NOT! N-N-NOT!



Here I lie, abject

Healer teeth are red

Force my legs apart:

Healer, hold my heart

Healer cut my spine

Healer, eat my mind

Write it on the sky:

These stars reveal the lie

Hold the glowing sphere

There is no there or here

Healer, hold my hand

Healer, hang this man!



I am the hanging man

I am the hanging man

I am, I am, I am, I am

I am, I am, I am, I am

I am, I am, I am, I am

I am, I am, I am, I am

I am not

I am not what I just thought

I am not what I just thought

I am NOT! I am NOT!

We are NOT! NOT!

Not, not

N-N-NOT!



Who is the watcher who is watching this thought

Whose thought is a thought that is not what he thought

NOT! SHOT!

NOT! THOUGHT!

KNOT! NOT!
