The Hanged Man

I've got devil's eyes
And a means to an end
I've got worlds to burn
And some dangerous friends
I've got writer's hands
And a martyr's mouth
I've got wicked intent
And an urge to turn south
I've got a first-class ticket
On a hell bound plane
I've got ideals to deny
And some distance on sane
I've got some blank pages
And some words that I wrote
I've got a cynical smile
And a star in my throat
I've got a girl I can't trust
And a life I regret
I've got places to be
And people to forget

Thanks, everyone. Just out of curiosity, Mr. Morrison, who wrote those lyrics?

Works well could be about a person or the devil. If south is there just for some rhyme then its north that is often ascociated with the evil one in western thought. A potent poem.

This rocks - I love the attitude and the tumbling-down-stairs push and rhythm of the words. Good stuff - has a spiritual connection to;

I walked 47 miles of barbwire,
I got a cobra snake for a necktie
brand new house down by the riverside
it's made outa rattelsnake hide...
