[Intro]
Wait 'til it comes around, haha
[Verse 1]
Standing on out on the
Edge of the building
I'm watching the traffic below
Drinking a beer
Thinking of jumping
Not far from ready to go
[Verse 2]
Below me the crowd
Slowly gathers around
Cops cars with news cameras too
I can't get out
Of this pain that I'm in
I don't know what else to do
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I feel like
I'm so uninvited
Like something so out of touch
They tell me depression
Runs in our family
That doesn't help me much
[Verse 4]
Crowd's yelling "jump"
Over a cop on a bullhorn
It's making him kinda hard to hear
He's yelling something about
Having so much to live for
I'm almost through with this beer
(Whistling)
[Verse 5]
Squinting my eyes to
See through the sunlight
This crowd's even bigger now
There's no point in wondering
What afterlife's like
It don't matter anyhow
[Verse 6]
We're already in hell
As far as I can tell
Just listen to these people scream
This feels like a rally
In a high school field house
I feel like the captain of a team
Well, here goes the captain of your team
(Whistling)
[Verse 7]
Follow the light to
The Garden of Eden
Stand at the Pearly Gate
Saint Peter comes over
Puts his hand on my shoulder
He's tellin' that me I gotta wait
[Chorus]
He says, "You know you can't kill yourself
"And still expect to come in here, kid
"But you look like a victim of circumstance
"So I'm just gonna break
"Every bone in your body
"And give you another chance"
[Verse 8]
Wakin' up slowly
Looking around me
A lonely recovery room
Closing my eyes
I can see a new sunrise
Over acres of flowers in bloom
[Verse 9]
I don't know when it will be
But the next time you see me
I'll be tappin' to a whole new beat
Walking soles [/souls?] into
The holes of my shoes
Down the sunny side of some street
Sunshine
(Whistling)
[Outro]
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no girl reaction
I try, I try
I try and I try
I can't get no
No no no
