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,
And fully clothed, I float away (I'll float away) Down the Forth, into the sea I think I'll save suicide for another day.
And I picture this corpse on the M8 hearse and I half run away 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,
And fully clothed, I float away (I'll float away) Down the Forth, into the sea I'll steer myself through drunken waves these manic gulls scream it's okay take your life give it a shake gather up all your loose change I think I'll save suicide for another year.
