Headstones - Swinging lyrics

Thinking of swinging from a thread
Coiled tightly around my neck
Will an exposed pipe hold the weight of fears
Thinking of jumping from this spot
Well it's 52 stories 'til I hit the mark
Will the concrete waiting absorb the
Strain of the years

Bright lights are flashing
They hold me to my spot
I've got 2 seconds to get away
Or 52 until I drop
Well the whole thing is swinging it's
A vicious and ugly curve

Electrocution where I lay
The taps are running and the radio plays
Will the water rolling absorb the
Strain of the shock

Shake that carcass
Well that used to be your life
Before it consummates it's love
With an exposed pipe

Will the water rolling absolve you from
All the things that you're not
If you really want to do it, do it slow
Real pain is the only way to go

You've got to savour the flavour
Self-destruction's a most attainable game
Pick yourself up, develop an addiction
Alcohol's a good one combined
With sports, hunting, and fishing

Whole thing is vicious it's
A most peculiar game
Shake that carcass, while it's hesitating
Before it consummates it's love
With the concrete waiting

Don't fool yourself into a
Quick and foolish end
If you're happy with your life
Roll over kiss your children
And then your wife and say
Jesus Christ I'm glad I never
Have thoughts like that
