Circe and the Hanged Man
Is he dead? the Stranger saidNo, she tells him.Say you bounce a ballHave you ever noticed thatBetween the business of its going upand the business of its fallit hesitates?It just waitsThere's a fraction of a second therewhen it's luxuriating in the airBefore its fate rushes it on.But he's hanging thereYes, he's hanging, yes, but from the tree of lifeIs he some sort of sacrifice?Yes, he's a sacrifice
He gave himself to himself so he could see.He gave himself to himself so he could see.He gave himself to himself so he could see.He gave himselfSo he could see?As only you can seeWhen the world is upside downSongtexteAnd you hangFrom the branch of a treeSo that's me?Yes, it's where you seem to be.And you hang from the branch of a tree.So that's me?Yes, it's where you seem to be.So that's me.
