Goodbye cruel world

A river you can drown in

A bench to perish on

A wood you could wander in

Like Virgil 

Looking for a way 

Out of the forest

The tunnel of vertiginy 

Beset with futility

Kill your self 

I'd love to but...

I can't decide 

Which self to kill 

Kill yourself 

I'd love to but 

I really don't know

Which self to kill

The current is a torrent 

Ripping you apart 

Your tiny little veins 

Open to the fish 

This is the way step off the bridge 

This is the way, the way to desist 

In a cold weir smashed

The slimey black rocks are hard as little icebergs 

Hard enough to split your walnut fat skull atwain

Kill your self 

I want to but 

I can't decide 

Which self to kill 

Kill yourself 

I'd love to but 

I can't decide 

Which self to kill

Jump off the parapet

To the muddy trout 

Or wander lost on the moor at night 

That's a romantic way

To put out the light 

Merging with the heather 

Never to be found 

She's smoking cotton blankets 

Cos her heads been cut with nuts 

Come down down 

to the river mate 

Come down down 

To the wild woods and the plains to the pools of winter rain 

To the loving arms 

Of spiteful fate 

Kill your self 

I'd love to but...

I can't decide 

Which self to kill 

Kill yourself 

I'd love to but 

I really don't know

Which self to kill

I've nothing more to say 

There's nothing left to do 

Goodbye fool world 

I do not envy you.
