Thinking of swinging from a thread Coiled tightly around my neck Will an exposed pipe hold the weight of my 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, 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 that flavour, self-destruction's a most attainable game Pick yourself up, develop an addiction Alcohol's a good one combined with sports, hunt 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 Now, 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"
