This town is just like Babylon
There's a scaffold built on every lawn
And if you should put just one foot wrong
You'll be swinging at the break of dawn
This is death by hanging
Death by hanging around
Scuffing around the shopping mall
Nothing to do, nothing to say, nothing at all
And heaven knows I ain't no latter-day saint
But Saturday ain't what it used to be
This town is just like Babylon
There's a scaffold built on every lawn
And if you should put just one foot wrong
You'll be swinging at the break of dawn
This is death by hanging
Death by hanging around
Yes this is death by hanging
Death by hanging around
