| Someone said he who knows he knows, knows nothing, yeah
 | 
| He who knows he knows nothing, really knows
 | 
| But I have searched and I never could find
 | 
| A way to make my true self unwind
 | 
| And while I sit here waiting to die
 | 
| I can see where I am and can tell you why
 | 
| The time’s right ahead, can’t you see
 | 
| 'Cause my life’s running out, out on me
 | 
| I’ve forgotten how it was, let me be
 | 
| So hangman hang my shell on a tree
 | 
| It’s all so easy, like the time when I first learned, yeah
 | 
| It’s all the same, since the day the world first turned, yeah
 | 
| But I never tried to listen or wait
 | 
| And now it’s so clear but for me it’s too late
 | 
| And so I sit here trying not to cry
 | 
| I only wanted peace but now I must die
 | 
| The time’s right ahead, can’t you see
 | 
| 'Cause my life’s running out, out on me
 | 
| I’ve forgotten how it was, let me be
 | 
| So hangman hang my shell on a tree
 | 
| The time’s right ahead, can’t you see
 | 
| 'Cause my life’s running out, out on me
 | 
| I’ve forgotten how it was, let me be
 | 
| So hangman hang my shell on a tree
 | 
| The time’s right ahead, can’t you see
 | 
| 'Cause my life’s running out, out on me
 | 
| I’ve forgotten how it was, let me be
 | 
| So hangman hang my shell on a tree
 | 
| The time’s right ahead, can’t you see
 | 
| 'Cause my life’s running out, out on me
 | 
| I’ve forgotten how it was, let me be
 | 
| So hangman hang my shell on a tree
