LYRICS
I’m wondering (I wonder) how hard
Is the cement really that thick?
I wonder (I’m wondering) how hard
If I’m going to dive through…
… is there a trick
Chorus
A circle of angels singing ’round your head
When the jumper jumps, he makes his own bed
You know it’s really, really gonna smart
Right before you start to stop your heart
Should I go head first
To minimize the pain
Should I go feet first
With or agin’ the grain?

You know it’s really, really gonna smart
Right before you start to stop your heart

LYRICS
What was the reason for the breakdown in reason
Was it the season
The super full moon
Crack the loon?
What was the reason for the breakdown in reason
Was it a lesion
Lack of medication
Too much meditation
Om, um, I’m
Heaven
As a matter of fact
The fact of the grey matter doesn’t matter
… what does matter
Is to realize — it’s all the I’s
Me and you, too
My thoughts have been on paying him respect.
Was it correct…
The thing society did neglect
Respect
Might not have been given to him… in hindsight.
Might, right?
… and he deserved some… deserved sum
