I got my megaphone back from the Legionnaires
With something sticky on the rim
I find it hard enough
To come across sincere
Without this lipstick on my chin
Your hat is heavy
Your head is a pouring rain
You can hang your head up
But that hat, you’re never gonna hang
I sent a satellite to cover my affairs,
What they might be, such as they are
My pockets full in
Every possible regard
And so I made a fist and I hit the button hard
Death and destruction rolled across the countryside
As the letters shifted into place
A thousand houses flat, and one thing standing, still
A rack, a hook, one empty space
Your hat is heavy
Your head is a pouring rain
You can hang your head up
But that hat, you’re never gonna hang
Never hang
Never hang
Never hang
Never hang
I’ll meet you there
At the top of the stairs
Where the holy people go
And we can take that black elevator down
See where our handiwork ends up
Behind the ropes so’s not to interrupt
The overwhelming feeling of despair
Watch the boats go by
Fall face first in
The little moonlight tide
As the curious cough and tip toe out
From the bushes where we sat
Contemplating such an act
But failing to really get it off the ground
Yours never was a head that liked to hang around
Do you remember
One night in November
Could you remind me? Halloween seemed to run
Straight into December
Did I ever mention
My truest intention
Was to deceive you into thinking this was something
Like divine intervention
As I sailed us right over
Those white cliffs of dover
I’m sorry Sarasota wasn’t all that you had hoped it’d be
Like the sunset I could see your poor heart sink
I’m due in battle in, say, oh, 800 hours
I’m soaking myself in strawberries till I’m pink
Your hat is heavy
Your head is a pouring rain
You can hang your head up
But that hat, you’re never gonna hang
