Deathwish
Let's get this out of the way
I want to state clearly right here
I have no intention to die
But sometimes impulses appear
I get the sudden urge
To jump in front of trains
Or steer the car into
The opposing lane
And like a fleeting itch
I've got a deathwish
As I'm here talking to you
It's obviously safe to assume
That I'm not impulsive enough
To act on these fancies of doom
But don't be surprised to find
Me standing on a ledge
Looking down over that seductive edge
Hypnotized by "what if"
I've got a deathwish
If my mind can think it
Does that mean it may come true?
If my mind can think it
(I want to live, I want to die)
Does that mean it may come true?
(I want to live, I want to live)
I guess it's all right
To wonder what's
On the other side
If you're a victim of
These crazy sorts of thoughts
You fear you're alone out there
But clearly not
Into the dark abyss
We've got a deathwish
If my mind can think it
(I want to live, I want to die)
Does that mean it may come true?
(I want to live, I want to live)
If my mind can think it
(I want to live, I want to die)
Does that mean it may come true?
(I want to live, I want to live)
I want to state clearly right here
I have no intention to die
But sometimes impulses appear
I get the sudden urge
To jump in front of trains
Or steer the car into
The opposing lane
And like a fleeting itch
I've got a deathwish
As I'm here talking to you
It's obviously safe to assume
That I'm not impulsive enough
To act on these fancies of doom
But don't be surprised to find
Me standing on a ledge
Looking down over that seductive edge
Hypnotized by "what if"
I've got a deathwish
If my mind can think it
Does that mean it may come true?
If my mind can think it
(I want to live, I want to die)
Does that mean it may come true?
(I want to live, I want to live)
I guess it's all right
To wonder what's
On the other side
If you're a victim of
These crazy sorts of thoughts
You fear you're alone out there
But clearly not
Into the dark abyss
We've got a deathwish
If my mind can think it
(I want to live, I want to die)
Does that mean it may come true?
(I want to live, I want to live)
If my mind can think it
(I want to live, I want to die)
Does that mean it may come true?
(I want to live, I want to live)
