Hangman we played
Rubber soul with a razor blade
Behind the church, hiding place, it was a long joke
Till the punch line came
Can you read my mind? Read my mind
Follow along to the end of the song

Hangman we played
Double dutch with a hand grenade
Behind the church, hiding place
Apathetic to the Devil's face
Wear the sheriff's badge put your toys away
They let us go saying let us pray


Hangman we played hide and seek on the fire escape
Through the smoke we saw the flame
It was a long wait til the firetruck came
On the count of three
Jump with me on the count of three
1... 2...
1... 2... 3... GO!!!!
Hangman we played blind man's bluff with the 9th brigade
Throw the brick through the windowpane
Double dutch til they stop the game
Till the cops show up hand cuff stunned
Let us go but we lost one
Hangman we played blind man's bluff til they stopped the game
Youth without youth
Born without time
Youth without youth
Can you read my mind?
