John Ralston Hang A Sign lyrics

When I was little I got lost
Slept in a shopping cart
Shielding my eyes from the scene of the crime
I bribed myself not to look back, oh, at that

On the high bars and I was pretending
In my head, I knew the right ending
Tried to stick, tried to stand but I never could land
Decided nothing works out anyway

Please hang a sign from my grave when I die
So I can remind you that finally I'm free from it all
The voices, the stalls
My razor sharp tongue and my paper trail heart
That never let me forgive myself


And if I don't come home one night
Promise you won't leave on one light
I want to drive by, see the windows dark eyes
Pretend that there's nobody there

Please hang a sign from my grave when I die
So I can remind you that finally I'm free from it all
The voices, the stalls
My razor sharp tongue and my paper trail heart
That never let me forgive myself
