Hangman we played rubber soul with a razor blade Behind the church, hiding place, It was a long joke till the punch line came. Can you read my mind, read my mind Follow along to the end of the song Hangman we played double dutch with a hand grenade Behind the church, hiding place. Apathetic to the devil's face. Wear the sheriff's badge put your toys away They let us go saying let us pray! Hangman we played hide and seek on the fire escape Through the smoke we saw the flame It was a long wait till the firetruck came On the count of three Jump with me on the count of three One two one two three go! Hangman we played blind man's bluff with the ninth brigade Throw the brick through the windowpane, Double dutch till they stop the game, till the cops Show up, hand cuff stunned They let us go but we lost one Hangman we played blind man's bluff till they stopped the game Youth without youth, born without time, Youth without youth, can you read my mind?
