| I’ve been standing on the edge of the roof looking down
|
| I’ve been looking at the people that are gathering around
|
| I’ve been here for an hour or maybe even more
|
| just looking at the people that I’ve never seen before
|
| stupid little faces are all I can see
|
| those silly little suckers are all laughing at me no wills cheap thrills you’re puppets to the master
|
| your only satisfaction is my lonely disaster
|
| you learned how to creep and you learned how to crawl
|
| but you never really learned anything at all
|
| when I was a boy everything was just fine
|
| I learned how to talk and how to walk in line
|
| I had to learn the rules that build our society
|
| but I could never understand it didn’t mean shit to me everybody always told me I was out of my mind
|
| but I never did kiss anybodys behind
|
| I’m a lot older and I guess I should know
|
| but I’m standing on the roof just watching the show
|
| standing on the edge and my step belongs to me and I’m telling you all I won’t miss what I see
|
| one foot over theres no time to turn around
|
| both feet are over and I’m heading for the ground
|
| I’m flying in the air and I can feel the cool breeze
|
| the people on the pavement have gone into a freeze
|
| no space no time it’s like walking on the moon
|
| my heart is still beating but It won’t be soon
|
| I can hear myself scream when I hit the street
|
| I can’t feel a thing from my head to my feet
|
| I told you I would do it and I didn’t even cry
|
| I feel more alive dead then when I was alive |
