lyrics

Hannah knows that her name both ways goes
and those words are like magic bones.
She’ll be the end of her father, the reverend
’cause it’s stronger than sticks and stones.
Ha na na na na na na na na na nah.
Hannah knows that her name has a name of its own.
It’s the power of herself alone. She ’s a God of love.
When her father the minister set her to scripture,
she read right to left with the whites of her eyes.
But her spasms and seizures were nothing but theater
and the devil winks when he cries:
Ha na na na na na na na na na nah.
Hannah knows that her name has a name of its own.
It’s the power of herself alone. She ’s a God of love.
She tries to get nearer the face in the mirror.
She twists her own tongue and spells everything
wrong.
Boy you’ll moan it, you’ll hiss it, intone it in
whispers,
scream in the night, and carve on the wall:
Ha na na na na na na na na na nah.
Hannah knows that her name both ways goes.
And it’s stronger than sticks and stones.
Hannah knows that her name has a name of its own.
It’s the power of herself alone.
Hannah knows.
