Lyrics for Hanging by His Hair

Helpless and hanging around Inches away from the ground Where I'm gonna be found By my father It's kinda cloudy and gray Soon they'll be coming my way Maybe it's better this way For my father In front of his family and friends I killed my brother and then I tried to do it again To my father Soon I'm gonna be dead But I slept in his bed With his women and said Fuck you father I never thought that I would be Discovered in a hardwood tree Hanging by my hair above A matching pair of turtle doves
