Floating in the Forth

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Fully clothed, I float away

Down the Forth to the sea

I think I'll save suicide for another day

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Refrain]

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

[Outro]

Another year

Another year

Another year

I think I'll save suicide for another year
