  • She brings her friends so we wont have to be alone
    Fear I might lose my composure without warning
    I am a child of fire I am a lion I have desires
    And I was born inside the sun this morning

    [Chorus]
    This dizzy life of mine keeps hanging me up all the time
    This dizzy life is just a hanging tree
    This dizzy life of mine keeps hanging me up all the time
    This dizzy life is just a hanging tree

    They say good evening when they don't know what to say
    They say good morning when they wish you would go home

    You open windows and you wait for someone warm to come inside and then freeze to death alone

    [Chorus]

    She calls a waitress when its time for her to go
    And I know everyone is eventually leaving
    I got a pair of wings for my birthday baby and I will fall down through the sun to see you mine

    [Chorus]

    For me, for me, for me [Repeated]

    This dizzy life is just a hanging tree
    This dizzy life is just a hanging tree for me

    This dizzy life is just a hanging tree for me
    For me, for me, for me [Repeated]

    This dizzy life is just a hanging tree for me Writer/s: ADAM FREDRIC DURITZ, CHARLES THOMAS GILLINGHAM, DANIEL JOHN VICKREY, DAVID A IMMERGLUCK, DAVID LYNN BRYSON, JAMES BOGIOS, MILLARD POWERS
