[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
