Jay gave me this little shrug, Like “Lee, What can I do?” And I gave Jay a little nod, Like “Jay, What can you do?” Because we all gave each other Little things. A little love, A little ache. A little bruise, A little break. A little truth, A little lie. A little live, A little die. But all the littles Grew up. And his shrug hardly asked, “What can I do?” the way my nod hardly asked, “What can you do?” the way we both left it hanging, We both hung the truth. For their crimes, here hang the criminals: We both hung the truth.

The Hanging
Jay gave me this little shrug, Like “Lee, What can I do?” And I gave Jay a little nod, Like “Jay, What can you do?” Because we all gave each other Little things. A little love, A little ache. A little bruise, A little break. A little truth, A little lie. A little live, A little die. But all the littles Grew up. And his shrug hardly asked, “What can I do?” the way my nod hardly asked, “What can you do?” the way we both left it hanging, We both hung the truth. For their crimes, here hang the criminals: We both hung the truth.
