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 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. |
