[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]

And fully clothed, I float away

(I'll float away)

Down the Forth, into 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

(I'll float away)

Down the Forth, into the sea

I'll steer myself through chopping waves

(Through chopping waves)

As manic gulls scream "it's okay"

(It's okay)

Take your life, give it a shake

Gather up all your loose change

I think I'll save suicide for another year
