Lyrics for Hang 'Em High as interpreted by FAToAshes

Hang 'Em High Lyrics
Wait until it fades to black
Ride into the sunset
Would I lie to you?
Well I've got something to say

Grab your six-gun from your back
Throttle the ignition
Would I die for you?
Well here's your answer in spades

Shotgun sinners, wild-eyed jokers
Got you in my sights
Gun it while I'm holding on

After all is said and done
Climb out from the pine box
Well I'm asking you
'Cause she's got nothing to say
The angels just cut out her tongue
Call her Black Mariah
Would I lie to you?
That girl's not right in the brain

Mass convulsions
Strike the choir
By the grace of God
Gun it while i'm holding on
But don't stop if i fall
And don't look back
Don't stop
Bury me and fade to black

She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
So get your gun and meet me by the door

She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
So get your gun and meet me by the door

She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
So get your gun and meet me by the door

She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
So baby...

Don't stop if I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby don't stop
Bury me
And fade to black

Don't stop if I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby don't stop
Bury me
And fade to black

the music at the beginning of this song sounds western, theres a western movie of clint eastwood and it's called "hang em' high" so i'm sure they drew inspiration from that.

Just a Western theme about going out and doing anything for your partner in order to protect them... these lyrics arent finished either.

so get your gun and meet me by the door

she won't stop me put it down
she won't stop me put it down
she won't stop me put it down
so get your gun and meet me by the door

she won't stop me put it down
she won't stop me put it down
she won't stop me put it down
so get your gun and meet me by the door

she won't stop me put it down
she won't stop me put it down
she won't stop me put it down
so baby...

don't stop if i fall
and don't look back
oh baby don't stop

and fade to black

don't stop if i fall
and don't look back
oh baby don't stop

and fade to black

That needs to be added on the end of these lyrics

I have to say now, I'm totally addicted to this damn song. Gerard's voice is absolutely crazily amazing and emotional. I love the last two chorus bits at the end where he repeats;
"don't stop if i fall
and don't look back
oh baby don't stop
bury me
and fade to black"
Just after the instrumental bridge, it sounds amazing when he sings the first line "Don't stop if I fall" and then the drums kick back in again.
Totally love this song, and all MCR songs but this in my top three favourite MCR songs.

I really hope MCR do the festivals next year in England!!

YeeeEes!!! If they do the festivals that would be the best thing ever. I can't believe the relatively low amount of comments his song's received. Along with Thank You For The Venom it's my favourite on the album. It's the change of pace in the chorus that I love!

And I totally agree with your "don't stop if i fall" comment beni...it's amazing! Weeeee.

It's horrible that there's so few comments for this song. I agree with what someone else said. This and "Thank You For The Venom" are the best on the album. I love the lyrics of this song more though. I think the best part of the song is "The angels just cut out her tongue/Call her black mariah/Would I lie to you? This girl's not right in the brain! Mass convulsions, strike the choir/By the grace of God/Gun it while I'm holding on!". I love that part of the song. Whenever I get to that part I start the song over again so I can hear those lines multiple times. For some reason whenever listening to this song though I like to picture Gerard being in the car and chasing down the girl in the desert. Like a rusty red convertible with the top down speeding through the desesrt, with...Frank or something driving, and holding onto a cool looking rifle. They car's swerving around and Gerard's holding on for dear life and trying to point the gun at the girl. I'm not sure. That's just the weird way my mind works. :D.

A girl doesnt belive her boyfriend loves her. so she keeps asking him if he would die for her and if would lie to her.

they are trying to kill the bad guys together

and is telling her if he dies to carry on, and keep going.

It seemed like the song was about partners maybe on a mission that follows along with the concept and he's singing that the other dude should keep going if he doesn't make it and that he'd proctect the partner but don't stop most impostantly even if he falls. I'm not exactly clear on it. Their songs can go in a bunch of different directions, but I do love this song. It's my jam on the album.

no the meaning is about a bonnie and clyde couple that died in a gun fight that took place in the west and the man gets shot and goes to hell then the girl isnt there so he makes a deal with the devil that if he collects 1000 souls of evil men he will get to see her one more time! :p

It's a complete western movie, but in the form of song. "bury me and fade to black". It sound a lot like a movie ending where two friends/partners are fighting the final gun battle and one dies, but before the fight starts and they know it's going to happen, one friend/partner says to the other "if i die, just keep shooting" ("don't stop if i fall, don't look back"). And at the one that said that gets shot, dies, and gets buried at the end. Crane shot down on the other friend/partner standing alone by the other's grave, and fade to black. This song is great.

This was the first MCR song I'd ever heard. I fell in love. Me and my MCR CD are now happily engaged to be married and are currently proud parents of two beautiful children.

Uhh... yeah.
