D. Barrett, J. Gittleman)
Standing stiff on a cliff
and I;m not gonna leap
checked out the water
but it's much too deep
no going back no turning around
I'll stay here and wait
God I hope that I'm found
my thoughts were in knots
I couldn't get to sleep
went up to the attic
to see what to keep
threw out the useless
and now it's bone-dry
but I still couldn't die
couldn't figure out why
(chorus)
the place is packed
I needed that
a bottle cracked
I'm glad for that
a good nights rest
forget about that
I feel alive in this dive
so I'll drink to that
the attic was empty
and my eyes were shut
I had to do soemthing
but I didn't know what
the darkness was nice
but it wasn't enough
the clock wasn't stopping
so I had to get tough
(chorus)
got up and out
and found out it was raining
the car lived then died
but I wasn't complaining
hell bent for action
some had to be out there
I walked then I ran
hping something was somewhere
before too long
it didn't take long
this place came along
and I ended up here
