I see my feet lifting off the floor
The world looks smaller than it did before
And I say to my self it's such a pretty shade of blue
It’s good to be hanging around in your velvet noose
Miranda, Miranda your noose fits fine
If you cut me down it would be a crime
Miranda, Miranda it fits so tight
You’re always the last thing on my mind
Then a pit opens up and death angel above
Swings me around like a pendulum does
And I say to myself Edgar Allan Poe
Would die to be hanging around in your velvet noose
Miranda, Miranda your noose fits fine
If you cut me down it would be a crime
Miranda, Miranda it fits so tight
You’re always the last thing on my mind
I see my life flash past - I’ve seen it before
Padre says it’s time to settle the score
But I’m thinking I’ll pull through
I always do just hanging a round in your velvet noose
Miranda, Miranda your noose fits fine
If you cut me down it would be a crime
Miranda, Miranda it fits so tight
You’re always the last thing on my mind
You’re always the last thing
You’re always the last thing
You’re always the last thing on my mind
