The Twilight Sad - Floating In the Forth lyrics
[The Twilight Sad - Floating In the Forth lyrics]
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
Fully clothed, I float away
Down the Forth to the sea
I think I'll save suicide for another day
And I picture this corpse on the M8 hearse
And I have found a way 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 there’s a Fife of mine
And a boat in the port for me
Fully clothed, I'll float away
Down the Forth, into the sea
I'll steer myself through drunken waves
As manic gulls scream "That's okay"
Take your life give it a shake
Gather up all your loose change
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I’ll save suicide for another year
I think I’ll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I’ll save suicide for another year
Another year another year another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
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
Fully clothed, I float away
Down the Forth to the sea
I think I'll save suicide for another day
And I picture this corpse on the M8 hearse
And I have found a way 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 there’s a Fife of mine
And a boat in the port for me
Fully clothed, I'll float away
Down the Forth, into the sea
I'll steer myself through drunken waves
As manic gulls scream "That's okay"
Take your life give it a shake
Gather up all your loose change
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I’ll save suicide for another year
I think I’ll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I’ll save suicide for another year
Another year another year another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
