The Twilight Sad
Floating in the Forth
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Fully clothed, I float away
Down the Forth to the sea
I think I'll save suicide for another day

[Verse 2]
And I picture this corpse
On the M8 hearse
And I have found a way 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
[Chorus]
Fully clothed, I'll float away
Down the Forth, into the sea
I'll steer myself
Through drunken waves
As manic gulls
Scream "That's okay"
Take your life
Give it a shake
Gather up
All your loose change

[Refrain]
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I’ll save suicide for another year
I think I’ll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I’ll save suicide for another year

[Outro]
Another year
Another year
Another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
