Lyrics
The man approaches the gallows
across the street from your seat
He’s dejected, looking so hallow
and you are just about to eat
The waiter jots down your order
as the crier speaks this man’s crimes
The cook cracks open an egg
and hides the sound of a snap
His feet shake after his legs
as you’re daydreaming of naps
The crowd disperses uncaring
as you are mopping up your plate
But all is settling nicely
You’re moving like a tortoise
His body’s still looking sprightly
despite the rigor mortis
