Thinking of swinging from a thread

Coiled tightly around my neck

Will an exposed pipe hold the weight of fears



Thinking of jumping from this spot

Well it's 52 stories 'til I hit the mark

Will the concrete waiting absorb the strain of the years



Bright lights are flashing, they hold me to my spot

I've got 2 seconds to get away or 52 until I drop

Well the whole thing is swinging it's a vicious and ugly curve



Electrocution where I lay

The taps are running and the radio plays

Will the water rolling absorb the strain of the shock



Shake that carcass, well that used to be your life

Before it consummates its love with an exposed pipe

Will the water rolling absolve you from all the things that you're not



If you really want to do it, do it slow

Real pain is the only way to go

You've got to savour the flavour

Self-destruction's a most attainable game



Pick yourself up, develop an addiction

Alcohol's a good one combined with sports, hunting, and fishing

Whole thing is vicious it's a most peculiar game



Shake that carcass, while it's hesitating

Before it consummates its love with the concrete waiting

Don't fool yourself into a quick and foolish end



If you're happy with your life

Roll over kiss your children and then your wife

And say

Jesus Christ I'm glad I never have thoughts like that
