Pretty Noose 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

Pretty Noose

When asked about the song meaning in an interview, Chris Cornell responded that this is about regretting past decisions. Cornell wrote the music and lyric to the song.

This is a track from Down On The Upside, which was the last non-compilation album album issued before the band split up (they re-formed in 2010). In Europe, the song was the first single released from the album, but in America is was not sold - just sent to radio stations. This meant that the song was not eligible for the Hot 100, but it did make #37 on the Billboard Airplay chart.
