verse 1: RIFF 1
Strike a pose in the foot of spotlight that you chose
Down the river, the roses and a pot of gold
Everybody they love you but what are you now
We just see what we want

Pictures lie
We both know so
Go on, smile for the world
Take the light that you stole
Don't know you anymore

From where I have been hanging I can't see a thing
From the gallows I sing
