(Words by Van Halen)
Somewhere, he lost it in a turn
Now trouble seems to fit him like a glove
First come, first served, he`s serving it back
He travels light, without a pack, without love
He comes from nowhere an` he turns on his own
Late for the hanging, yes he`s headed for the moon
An` hang `em high
Leather `cross his thighs
Blasting out the night, his cap hides his eyes
One eye on the road, price upon his head
One ear to the ground, he`s listening to the dead
He comes from nowhere an` he turns on his own
Late for the hanging, yes he`s headed for the moon
An` hang `em high
Blind to himself, an` he`s laughing up his scheme
Looking back in anger, the city is relieved
Vision of light, child of the night passing by

Blind to himself, he`s laughing up his scheme
Looking back in anger, the city is relieved
A vision of light, child of the night passing by
Leather `cross his thigh
Blasting out the night, his cap hides his eyes
One eye on the road, price upon his head
One ear to the ground, he`s listening to the dead
He comes from nowhere, an` he turns on his own
Late for the hanging, yes he`s headed for the moon
An` hang `em high
