Poison - Face The Hangman lyrics

rate me

Friday night at midnight

Looking for what I need

I heard a tale that somewhere

That a dude had a real go at me

So like a rat race cowboy

I slipped into the human zoo

Headed down for trouble

Got myself a drink or two

Well I took to the streets

And I took to the falls

Marched right in but I didn't get involved

Manager said hey boy there's the door

But I didn't leave until I evened the score

[Chorus]

I gotta face the hangman

Gotta pay for what I done

I gotta face the hangman

Or by the noose I swing

In the morning sun

Like a tipsy gypsy

Looking like I'd been had

But like the story says

This wild-eyed boy is bad

I got a police squad car

Taxi to the local slammer

They said

Son you're gonna pay for what you've done

I don't give a damn

Just cause I like to drink and dance all night

Just cause I like cat brawling, an old fist fight

Give me no lip boy or I'll kick you in the mouth

Watch you head fly open and your teeth fly out

[Chorus]

Now the judge looked at me and said

That boy, he's definitely guilty

Ooooh let him swing

[Chorus x2]
