Crash Test Dummies Hangin` Tree Lyrics

Hangin` Tree Lyrics

A friend is a need

Like a gauze when you bleed

And you're layin' and cryin' away

And the dozen or so

Of the friends that I know

Aren't worth the time anyway



The tree can be a hangin' tree

The rose a thorny stem

The wind can blow across the field

But it's always us or them

Yeah it's always us or them



A song is a thing

That you you write and you sing

When you're layin' and cryin' away

And the dozen or so

That I wrote long ago

Don't sound good anymore anyway



The tree can be a hangin' tree

The rose a thorny stem

The wind can blow across the field

But it's always us or them

Yeah it's always us or them



A prayer is a thing

Like a kite on a string

That can snap and get lost in the sky

And a dare is a dare

So you better beware

'Cause soon you'll be saying goodbye



The tree can be a hangin' tree

The rose a thorny stem

The wind can blow across the field

But it's always us or them

Yeah it's always us or them
