Neck Breaker
by Rusty Shipp

Album: Neck Breaker - Single

Verse 1:
You're wanted dead or alive
Up to you which one they decide
So ride, but you gotta land, sometime
And when you do, oh, you fool
The gallows will be waiting for you
You're gonna hang from the head
Until you're dead, dead, dead
Make your bed with the fishes
Last chance for final wishes

Chorus 1:
Don't break your neck trying to run from the gallows
You're bringing the end of the world on yourself
'Cause if it's Heaven you're after, why not have it right now?
New Creation's been growing for two millennia

Verse 2:
Hunt you down till Kingdom come
Hang you at the Resurrection
Ship off at Joppa, with your sins upon your head
Like bait dangling over jaws, but you're Jonah and will be jettisoned

Chorus 2:
Don't break your neck, trying to run from the gallows
I promise there's more than one way to go out
But if the story you pick, ends with you getting strangled
Your noose could be tentacles into a mouth

Bridge:
Run from the noose on land, but a worse one will find you in the sea
You're either saved or damned, if it's what you believe

Chorus 3:
Don't break your neck trying to run from the gallows
You're saving their souls but sending Earth to Hell
So don't waste your breath, cheering me up with good news
I swear it just sounds like you're singing the blues

Don't sever my head, if it's lost in the clouds
I promise I'll come back down on my own
'Cause I've been asking the angels if our time's running out
They say our whole kingdom's upside down
