lyrics

I am just a poor boy
Though my story’s seldom told
the rope never loosens
the rope never snaps
just swinging in the wind
in the shadow of the bridge
I'm just watching and listening
And hoping for the day that

in the shadows the altar rock
swing left to right, right to left
you're watching and I'm watching you
shuffling around laughing whispering right
in the shadows of the alter rock
you can't see me but I'm kicking hard
hoping this rope might finally break
and I'll hitch a ride
In this life I don't deserve
All the things ive never really heard
Ive seen a lot, enough to make me sick
going on and on and on
At first it was hard
I felt my neck snap
And there was choking
And it all went on and on and on
Until my arms stopped resisting
it's a bother, it’s such a bother
When i hear them coming round
I see some girl
I see some boy
wandering around these parts
And in the moonlight, in the night
I've grown bitter, disillusioned,
maybe one day, maybe someday,
I feed this itch in a way

in the woods of altar rock
Ill see your shadows pass by
I'll break free and hitch a ride
I've got a lot to try out with ropes around here
I've been practicing for years
in the shadows of altar rock
I'll be unleashed in the world
and you won't have a say
you won't have a say

But all I do
Is swing around this town...
