[Verse 1]
Standing on out on the
Edge of the building
Watching the traffic below
Drinking a beer and
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 just can't get out of
This pain I'm in
And I don't know what else to do

[Verse 3]
Sometimes I feel like
I'm so uninvited
Like somethin' so out of touch
They tell me depression
Runs in the family
Well, that doesn't help me much

[Verse 4]
The crowd's yelling "jump"
Over a cop on a bullhorn
Making him harder to hear
He's saying something about
Having so much to live for
I'm almost through with my beer
(Whistling)

[Verse 5]
Squinting my eyes to
See through the sunlight
The 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 the team
Well, here goes the captain of the team

(Whistling)

[Verse 7]
Follow the light to
The Garden of Eden
You stand at the Pearly Gate
Saint Peter comes over
His hand on my shoulder
He's tellin' me I gotta wait
[Chorus]
He says, "You know you can't kill yourself and still get 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
Lookin' around me
A lonely recovery room
But closing my eyes, I
Can see the 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 the street
Sunshine

(Whistling)
