Bird On A Wire Lyrics

Bird On A Wire lyrics

By the rivers down south
     There's gonna be a hangin'
     He took the
life of another man's wife
     The evidence was damning
     Let me
simplify
     Justice will be served
     Let no one stand in our way

    Let no one be concerned
     In his eyes there was no regret
     But
you could feel the snap of his neck
     They had all been friends
    
The couple and this man
     And there was something wrong
     With the
story at hand
     But I was blind with rage
     And I was blind with
hate
     But now I had my doubts
     But now it was too late
     In
his eyes there was no more pain
     I think we'll have ourselves a hangin'
again
     Like a bird on a wire
     One day they'll come for me
    
But I have no fear
     I only did what I thought was right
     Cast a
stone if you dare
     And so I stand alone
     Before this great
debate
     But beware my words
     As you seal my fate
     In my
eyes there was no regret
     But you could feel the snap of my neck
    
Like a bird on a wire
     In his eyes there was no more pain
     I don't
think this brid'll fly again
     By the rivers down south
     They had a
bunch of hangings
     They took the lives of everyone there
     You know
it was quite savage
     But they were blind with rage
     And they were
blind with hate
     And so I stood alone
     Like a bird on a wire
