Floating in the Forth

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 ledAm

I ready to leap?

Is there peace beneath

The roar of the forth road bridge?

On the northern side there's a fife of mine

And a boat in the port for me

And fully clothed,

I float away

Down the forth, into the sea

I'll steer myself through drunken waves

These 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
