Hangout at the Gallows Lyrics by Father John Misty

God’s Favorite Customer

2018

[Verse 1]
Sun is rising
Black is turning blue
Look out, buddy, Noah's calling
Jesus, man, what did you do?
[Verse 2]
Psychic terrorists
In the upper room
Left foot, right foot, that's the ticket
You'll be back on top real soon
[Pre-Chorus]
Whose bright idea was it to sharpen the knives?
Just twenty minutes 'fore the boat capsize
If you want an answer, it's anybody's guess
I'm treading water as I bleed to death
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
What's your politics?
What's your religion?
What's your intake?
Your reason for living?
[Verse 3]
Your compositions
A start of every song
Find you waking in the morning
Always there to greet the dawn
[Verse 4]
Trouble sleeping
My alarm goes off
So you wanna hang out at the gallows?
Those guys get an early start
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, whose bright idea was it to sharpen the knives?
Just twenty minutes 'fore the boat capsize
If you want an answer, it's anybody's guess
I'm treading water as I bleed to death
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
What's your politics?
What's your religion?
What's your intake?
Your reason for living?
Oh, oh what's your politics?
What's your religion?
What's your intake?
Your reason for living?
