Needles stabbed into the walls The executioners curtain call Fighting back he found his life drowning And there was no way up
Cause Richard hung himself Richard hung himself It happened just the other day Jesus caught and pushed him off the shelf He thought he find a better way With slashing, and stabbing, and manning and ramming
Death room with black curtains Where his clothes once laid The roof kicked out and the rope tied to the rafters A quick kick of the chair And it's all through If Richie only knew
Cause Richard hung himself Richard hung himself It happened just the other day Jesus caught and pushed him off the shelf He thought he find a better way With needles, injecting and shooting himself contagiously
His life suddenly flashed right before his eyes What a swinging guy Turning gray with mold This is when he died
Give it up give up Throw it all away
Burning acid bath Pulmonary wrath Feel the boiling surge It won't let you go
Throw it all away
Swinging in his room Richie won't come out to play That poor bastard hung himself the other day Oh how the years seem to fly by Is death the final high
Cause Richard hung himself Richard hung himself It happened the other day Jesus caught and pushed him off the shelf He thought he find a better way With slashing and stabbing and ripping And stabbing and shredding and slashing And shredding and stabbing and ripping And tearing attacking and manning And taking the body god gave to you
I gotta get out
Cause Richard hung himself Cause Richard swung himself Cause Richard strung himself The needles stung himself It pulled him off the shelf Cause Richard hung himself
