Hang It Up
The Ting Tings

My friends, they get me higher and higher
They’re killing me with friendly fire
We meet beneath the cactus tree
The walking on spikes just ain’t for me

My friends ain’t gotta worry more
They meet outside the corner store
And walk the pavement, miss the cracks
I’d join them if I could relax

Look for tricks when you don’t have a thing
Live like a hermit if you wanna be king
People say it’s not worth the wait
Everybody loves somebody to hate

I’m not gonna go and rush this through my veins
Blow them up while looking for this again
Punk rock ain’t in division
Send all the weak ki-kids to prison
I wanna write about setting something free
All the changes drive us back to sea
And this is all about starting out again
Same old, same old, never stay the same
My friends one by one get a job
Meet boys and girls and get a dog
Throw parties, we sit on the ground
I’d rather they, just let me down
People say it’s not worth the wait
Everybody loves somebody to hate

You can hang it up and you can hang it up
This time baby you can hang it up
You can hang it up and you can hang it up
This time baby you can hang it up
You can hang it up and you can hang it up
This time baby you can hang it up
You can hang it up and you can hang it up
This time baby you can hang it up

Could’ve been a lawyer, take what you can
Never been happy since time began
It’s getting kinda heavy, I’m a body full of bad bones
Spread it in the backyard, cover me in flagstones
You got the time, they all can wait
You wanna start talking, cuz it’s not too late
Aquarium, stare at ‘em
Everybody loves somebody to hate

Break it, make it, you can make the break
Back and for f*ck’s sake just make it great
Intake, don’t fake, go on and let ‘em
Make all the changes that you need to make
Stand back, give it up, ain’t life a b*tch
No war making, you just hit and miss
Insane does as failure may take
Time for you to rearrange

You can hang it up and you can hang it up
This time baby you can hang it up
You can hang it up and you can hang it up
This time baby you can hang it up
You can hang it up and you can hang it up
This time baby you can hang it up
You can hang it up and you can hang it up
This time baby you can hang it up
