| [00:11.21] |
So what if I just couldn't take it anymore |
| [00:15.09] |
I'll just take a walk to the store |
| [00:17.24] |
Looking for a bit of bottled rat poison to score |
| [00:20.82] |
|
| [00:21.38] |
And I'll pour down my gullet to nullify the sullenness |
| [00:24.58] |
If it's my destiny to kill me spill it in me |
| [00:27.57] |
To begin to fulfill it give it a couple of minutes until it hits |
| [00:33.02] |
But still it doesn't seem to be taking effect |
| [00:36.53] |
I'm still walking erect, what the heck, what the hell |
| [00:39.11] |
Well at least I paid the guy with a cheque |
| [00:41.93] |
|
| [00:42.62] |
So if the Bodega janked me on the poison I drank |
| [00:45.57] |
All I gotta do is place a cancel call to my bank |
| [00:48.57] |
But they put me on hold when I told them the story |
| [00:51.21] |
First I cursed in the phone but the music ignored me |
| [00:53.97] |
And it played, and it played for such a long time |
| [00:59.87] |
And then a voice said "we'll be with you soon, just stay on the line" |
| [01:02.44] |
But just at that second my neck broke out in a sweat |
| [01:05.13] |
I said "I bet this is it - the poison's starting to hit" |
| [01:06.96] |
I felt sick and in pain, I dropped the phone to the ground |
| [01:12.60] |
And an operator came and said "can I help you now " |
| [01:15.35] |
But all that she could hear was just the sound of my death as I gasped into the set |
| [01:19.18] |
"Just let the guy cash the cheque" with my last rattling breath |
| [01:21.57] |
And the burning bottle of crap that I sickly held in my lap |
| [01:26.78] |
I quickly turned on the cap out of concern for the rats |
| [01:29.85] |
|
| [01:31.47] |
So what if I just couldn't take it anymore |
| [01:35.75] |
|
| [01:43.08] |
So what if I just couldn't take it anymore |
| [01:46.45] |
|
| [01:47.54] |
I'll just take the decision to walk on the bridge and try to fly like a pigeon |
| [01:52.24] |
|
| [01:53.63] |
And I tramp up the ramp and all the bicycles pass |
| [01:56.51] |
And I just can't help but laugh when I think back on my past |
| [01:59.13] |
And all of the retarded mistakes that I made |
| [02:01.77] |
The broken-hearted dismay that started from the first grade all the way up to today |
| [02:05.67] |
And the walkway is steep, and the cars are all beeping |
| [02:10.49] |
And the people are sailing to wherever they're sailing |
| [02:13.32] |
And I'm climbing the railings |
| [02:14.95] |
|
| [02:16.64] |
I plan to stand and decide, but I just slip and I dive |
| [02:21.41] |
And all the drunks on the side start to hold up their signs |
| [02:24.23] |
Mostly 7s and 9s, but now and then is a 10 |
| [02:26.56] |
And if I fell to earth I'd be dead that's for sure |
| [02:31.44] |
But like I said before it's only water |
| [02:33.83] |
And it's worthless 'cos it isn't on purpose |
| [02:35.78] |
But I bob to the surface |
| [02:37.28] |
|
| [02:39.21] |
But a large garbage barge comes |
| [02:44.16] |
And it drops 20 tonnes of toxic waste on my face |
| [02:47.24] |
And as I sink from the sun to whatever's to come |
| [02:50.38] |
My last sight is the Bums who all change their signs into 3s, 2s, and 1s |
| [02:54.36] |
|
| [02:55.86] |
And then after this discourse |
| [02:56.79] |
There's a 3 6 - of course it must be from Pitchfork |
| [02:59.74] |
So what if I just couldn't take it anymore |
| [03:06.45] |
|
| [03:13.78] |
So what if I just couldn't take it anymore |
| [03:17.04] |
Staring down at the floor, staring up at the ceiling |
| [03:19.86] |
'Cos I never get used to always feeling so unglued |
| [03:22.53] |
Need new emails to read through while I eat old Chinese food |
| [03:25.83] |
|
| [03:27.01] |
I don't want a life that's like this, just take a knife to my wrist quick |
| [03:29.97] |
All I've got is this chopstick but I could still make the plot thick |
| [03:32.60] |
Just for the sake of context if I break it with my fist |
| [03:35.17] |
For fun against my chest run into the wall next |
| [03:37.85] |
|
| [03:39.76] |
And I'll frown at the gash, then lie down in the bath with some Sylvia Plath |
| [03:43.64] |
How many pages will pass until I'm facing my last |
| [03:46.40] |
I didn't major in Math so I won't wager no cash |
| [03:49.47] |
|
| [03:51.23] |
But truth is stranger than fashion |
| [03:52.48] |
And the danger is that all of the blood will amass |
| [03:54.75] |
And the tub will fill-up so fast |
| [03:56.56] |
'Til I'm encased like a crab in a bathtub-shaped scab |
| [03:58.63] |
They'll have to take in a cab and scrape off in a lab |
| [04:02.20] |
|
| [04:03.90] |
So what if I just couldn't take it anymore |
| [04:08.74] |
|
| [04:15.95] |
So what if I just couldn't take it anymore |
| [04:19.58] |
|
| [04:20.27] |
I'll just call up the Mob and say |
| [04:21.97] |
"I've got you a job, I guess you know what to do |
| [04:24.35] |
Knock off this guy with the blues - an offer you can't refuse" |
| [04:27.18] |
And I'll fax them a contract through a third-party contact that says |
| [04:32.20] |
'Don't hold him for ransom, I'll pay half in advance |
| [04:35.82] |
Just mail me one of his hands which I'll accept as your answer' |
| [04:38.03] |
So say it so happens: |
| [04:41.78] |
I happen to be out lying on a park bench and crying just like my normal way |
| [04:45.99] |
But in most former cases no-one comes out of no place |
| [04:49.52] |
Wraps masking tape on my face |
| [04:52.39] |
But that's what happens today |
| [04:56.03] |
But before I get knocked off, my hand it gets chopped off |
| [04:57.90] |
And dropped in a mailbox |
| [04:59.02] |
And I'm locked in a trunk |
| [04:59.58] |
But I'm flung out on the tar when the car hits a bump at exit one twenty-five |
| [05:02.61] |
Out on the FDR drive |
