Suicide Tomorrow

i'd jump but
the machine is running
can't miss your message,
counting on your call

i'd jump but
i can afford to waste
one more day

i'd jump but
life is no bluer
than the sea &
death would be bluer
than that for me

ol' death came close
i seen her,
black hole
heart & soul,
crawling back to life,
i said

i'd jump but
like the sea
i've had a enough
gravity for one night

i'd jump but for
these boots would
headline before me, cos that’s all I have on, and
i never much
liked these boots

i'd jump but
there's a life to be had
i would..

i'd be glad to jump but
there's all that summer fruit coming round with the
season to be merry

i'd jump but
i'm bound to
get a bit by
Christmas
