Goh Nakamura Track by Track #3: Hangman

Track 3: Hangman is a song about writer's block. This song was really easy for me to write the melody and chords for- but the lyrics took me about 2 years to finish. It was like a crossword puzzle that took years to finish.

Lyrics:

A friendly little game of Hangman
Stick figure hangin' there by his head

You whisper vowels in my ear
and though the answer's still unclear
The blanks we leave will surely fill themselves

Like a song we knew so well
We knew so well
We knew so well

A little game of innuendo
and we all know where the
answer goes

I see you're tempted now to cheat
and make my self defeat complete

So I sip on vinegar that
once was wine
in unemployment lines with the
monks and scribes

A little game of innuendo
a friendly means
to a meanless end
that ends so well

A deadly little game of Hangman
and I'll be hangin' by a consonant

The fickle muse is playing
games again

and there's no noose that's a
good noose

at the gallows pole
the hangman knows

A little game of
innuendo
A snow white page
and a broken pencil
that's out of lead

A missing letter for the Hangman
I've never felt so inarticulate

A dying wish before I lose
A desperate prayer for a clue

Can I take a walk around this
writer's block?

To find the words I want to
To find this song I need to
This little song that wants to write itself

Hangman
Hey Man
Hangman
Hang....
