Got nothin’ to say for myself
I’m just a poor [bad word] like everyone else
Sittin’ in the garage with gasoline 
Huffin’ fumes with my 
Friends off the street
Well this here cliff looks mighty steep 
Bet I could find a home 
Among the ragged rocks beneath
And it’s a long way down

I’ve got the time
With [bad word] so near
I’m desperate tonight

Fightin’ with some guy 
Who’s twice my size
He’s got the look of murder 
In his beady empty eyes
Luckily for me I brought my knife
I stab him once
Then he smashes in my face
Well no one tries to stop my fall
I look to them 
As they stand there and applaud
And it’s a long way down

I’ve got the time
With [bad word] so near
I’m desperate tonight

Everything’s divided black or white
There’s good and evil 
There’s wrong and there’s right
I guess I know what side I’m on
When I try to do right
Others tell me I done wrong
Well this here river looks wide and deep 
Bet I could find a home
Among the bones and weeds beneath
And it’s a long way down

I’ve got the time
With [bad word] so near
I’m desperate tonight
