Under nauseous skies
Sad glow of night
Hung me by a flower
And in my fright
I closed my eyes
I swallowed lies
I was swinging from the gallows
Sun passed in the night
She was laid on like a bible
My skin went tight
When I caught her from the gallows
She just said good night
But it's alright
Yeah, I'll get by
I'll just get high
Learn how to die
I don't mind
I don't mind
Nothing turns me off
Nothing turns me on
I was hung up on a flower
And she was gone
But it's alright
Yeah, I'll get by
I'll still be hanging there
Without you by my side
I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind
