Intro
Så häng dem högt
So hang them high
Så häng dem långsamt
So hang them slowly
Men häng dem högt
But hang them high
Jag kräver hämnd
I demand revenge
Verse 1
En tidig morgon
An early morning
Född till tönt
Born a dork
Så lägg dig ner och sov, lilla syster
So lie down and sleep, little sister
Bara lägg dig ner och bida din tid nu
Just lie down and bide your time now
Prechorus 1
Jag vet, du vet vad som måste ske nu
I know, you know what must happen now
Jag tror stenhårt på din plan
I believe firmly in your plan
Häng dem högt
Hang them high
Häng dem högt
Hang them high
Chorus 1
När du grät på festerna
When you cried at the parties
Var jag aldrig bjuden in
I was never invited
Du föll isär inför gästerna
You fell apart in front of the guests
Jag byggde upp dig bit för bit, igen
I built you up piece by piece, again
Bit för bit, igen
Piece by piece, again
Bit för bit, igen
Piece by piece, again
Verse 2
Så blev jag expert på att vänta själv
So I became an expert at waiting alone
Man vänjer sig snabbt, man väntar på nån
You get used to it fast, you wait for someone
Glasögonormen reflekterar ljus
The four-eyes reflects light
Skjutsar dig hem, villkorslöst
Gives you a ride home, unconditionally
Bak på min cykel höll du mig, som i kramp
On the back of my bike you held me, as if in a cramp
Du landade hårt, du var nog alltid sjuk
You landed hard, you were probably always sick
Lägg dig ner nu, sov lilla syster
Lie down now, sleep little sister
Bara lägg dig ner och bida din tid nu
Just lie down and bide your time now
Prechorus 2
Jag vet, du vet vad som måste ske nu
I know, you know what must happen now
Jag tror stenhårt på din plan
I believe firmly in your plan
Häng dem högt
Hang them high
Häng dem högt
Hang them high
Chorus 2
När du grät på festerna
When you cried at the parties
Var jag aldrig bjuden in
I was never invited
Du föll isär inför gästerna
You fell apart in front of the guests
Jag byggde upp dig bit för bit, igen
I built you up piece by piece, again
Outro
Bit för bit, igen
Piece by piece, again
Bit för bit, igen
Piece by piece, again
Bit för bit, igen
Piece by piece, again
Bit för bit, igen
Piece by piece, again
