Lyrics

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
 Below me the crowd
 Slowing 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
 Sometimes i feel like
 I'm so uninvited
 Like something so out of touch
 They tell me depression
 Runs in the family
 Well, that doesn't help me much
 The crowds yelling "jump"
 Over a cop on a bullhorn
 Making them harder to hear
 He's saying something about
 Having so much to live for
 I'm almost threw with my beer
 (Whistling)
 Squinting my eyes to
 See through the sunlight
 The crows even bigger now
 There's no point in wondering
 What afterlife's like
 It don't matter anyhow
 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)
 Follow the light to the Garden of Eden
 You stand at the pearly gates
 Saint Peter comes over
 His hand on my shoulder
 He's telling me I got away
 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"
 Waking up slowly
 Looking around me, alone in a recovery room
 But closing my eyes
 I can see the new sunrise
 Over acres of flowers in bloom
 I don't know when it will be
 But the next time you see me
 I'll be tapping to a whole new beat
 Walking souls in to the holes of my shoes
 Down the sunny side of the street
 Sunshine...
 (Whistling)
