The Headstones - SwingingLyrics

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 its 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 its 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
