[Verse 1]

Stunned I am - bewildered in my bed

An overdose on something that was said

Roll-over time measured by the mile

Feelin' knots that never will untie

Flecks of dust dancin' in the sun

A tickin' clock tickin' for no one

The phone is still, and still is what it's like

To hide the sun and sink into the night

[Chorus]

Hangin' from a tree

It's the passing time for me

Discomfort when the tonics simply aren't

Initials in the tree, in the vein of misery

At least I didn't carve you in my arms

[Verse 2]

Did you know that I saw you in a dream?

Me on a limb; you lookin' up at me

Oh, I never smiled; you laughed until you cried

Well it's better here, at least I've come outside

[Chorus]

And I'm hangin' from a tree

It's the passing time for me

Discomfort when the tonics simply aren't

Initials in the tree, in the vein of misery

At least I didn't carve you in my arms

And I'm hangin' from a tree

It's the passing time for me

Discomfort when the tonics simply aren't

Initials in the tree, in the vein of misery

At least I didn't carve you in my arms
