Paradise

Did you get your invitation
There’s going to be a public hanging
And the bodies will swing side by side
And it’s just I and I
Can you hear the hyena laughing
As they tear the meat from my bone
And you look so pretty watching
The bodies swing side by side
Going home
Going home
Going home
Did you hear the bells ringing
Or was that just in my head
Thought I heard the angels singing
Their wings brush across my face
Hear the wolves a howling
The crowd it claps for more
And I thought I heard you praying
It’s just the closing of the door
