So you just stepped out
|
of the front of my house
|
and I'll never see you again.
|
I closed my eyes for a second
|
and when they opened
|
you weren't there.
|
And the door shut shut
|
I was vacuum packed,
|
shrink-wrapped out of air
|
And the spine collapsed
|
and the eyes rolled back
|
to stare at my starving brain,
|
|
And fully clothed, I float away
|
(I'll float away)
|
Down the Forth, into the sea
|
I think I'll save suicide for another day.
|
|
And I picture this corpse
|
on the M8 hearse
|
and I half run away to sleep
|
On a rolled up coat
|
against the window
|
with the strobe of the sun
|
and the life I've led
|
am I ready to leap
|
is there peace beneath
|
the roar of the Forth road bridge?
|
On the Northern side
|
is a Fife of mine
|
and a boat in the port for me,
|
|
And fully clothed, I float away
|
(I'll float away)
|
Down the Forth, into the sea
|
I'll steer myself
|
through drunken waves
|
as manic gulls
|
scream it's okay
|
take your life
|
give it a shake
|
gather up
|
all your loose change
|
I think I'll save suicide for another year.
