Chris Cornell vocals-Lyrics
I caught the moon today
Pick it up
And throw it away all right
I got the perfect steal
A cleaner love
With a dirty feel all right
Fallout and take the bait
Eat the fruit
And kiss the snake goodnight


Common ruse dirty face
Pretty noose is pretty hate
And I don’t like
What you got me hanging from


Let your motor race
Pick it up
And get this mother gone
Out from and far away
The wooden snake
This thing has got me on


Diamond rope silver chain
Pretty noose is a pretty pain
And I don’t like
What you got me hanging from


I don’t care what you got
I don’t care what you need
I don’t want anything
And I don’t like what
You got me hanging from

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Mr. Always Mezm Average	#1 by Mr. Always Mezmerized (o)(o) at Dec 6, 1980 at 10:19 AM EST
	A girl having you by the balls, and there isn't anything you can do to get away.

No Picture Dakota Lead Player	#2 by Dakota Sparks at Apr 18, 1985 at 2:04 PM EST
	its probably about a one sided relationship where the pretty noose is a girl who controls her lover

No Picture Joshua Wanna Be	#3 by Joshua Osprey at Apr 16, 1990 at 2:07 PM EST
	i'm not a native speaker, could anybody tell me what the expression "What you got me hanging from" means? Is it like "I don't like what you make me do for you"?

No Picture Avinash Average	#4 by Avinash Dutta at Jan 25, 1991 at 6:25 AM EST
	This song is incredible. It is by far the best song chris cornell has released since temple of the dog released "hunger strike" way back when. I believe that treestump is right because it is obviously about a girl who isn't at all as she appears on the outside.

No Picture PJVILL Professional Badass	#5 by PJVILL at Mar 27, 2004 at 4:16 PM EST
	I thought it might be about being dissattisfied with the record label. They feel they're in a pretty noose? I have no supporting evidence to back this statement up with! Is there any?
