More Misheard Lyrics--Thumbing my Way

This misheard lyric ain't funny. But there is a story.
From "Thumbing my Way", I first heard, "all the rusted sides, hanging throughout our lives....choosing the shiny ones insteaaaad".
(I thought sides as in side roads.)
Then 4 days later I thought, "Why the ___ would a "side" be hanging? OH! It must be rusted signs, yeah that makes more sense!"
When I read the lyrics (11 days after that) it's "all the rusted signs WE IGNORE throughout our lives....". (Note that nothing is hanging at all)
I think it's IRONic (does iron rust?) that a MISHEARD lyric fixed a different misheard lyric.
When I listen to the song now (about 13 days later), I can still hear "hanging".
GASP--Isn't one of the lines about a rope around his neck?
Doo do do do Doo do do do (Twilight Zone music).
(P.S. I was also thinking (back at the 11 day mark) "Why the ____would a ROAD be around his neck anyway?")
ONE MORE GASP--Wouldn't a hanging be a real quick way to "hitchhike back to heaven????"
More Doo do do do
I just got this from Google for "hitch definition":
weaver's hitch - a hitch used for temporarily tying a rope to the middle of another rope (or to an eye)
becket bend, sheet bend, weaver's knot
hitch - a knot that can be undone by pulling against the strain that holds it; a temporary knot
OK,.....I am OUT OF HERE!
Maybe this should one should be posted in the "IS EDDIE GOD?" strand.
