Head on a String

Who knows you best

When you carve out the death in your chest

Throw it under your hood

My life's this road which I misunderstood

And I got my head on a string

When I think of these things

How I'm always alone

And I'm never at home

Don't fail your duty

Oh, my grandfather failed

Now I drink from his...

Gathering sand

It forms this earth, yet it slips through our hands

Oh, so c'est la vie

I am yours, you are free

And I get my head on a string

When I think of these things

How I'm always alone

And I'm never at home

Don't fail your duty

Oh, my grandfather failed

Now I drink from his will

Oh man, where have you been?

Because I've been looking since

Don't fail your duty

Oh, my grandmother sang me a song

And now I carry it along
