about

3.25

He gave me a call at the foot of a cliff
To tell me he’d done it and he obviously lived
We were only 19, both scared and sick–
Thinking love’s like a locked jaw–
I’m in a vice grip again.

He paid $3.25 to jump to his death
But the platform was crowded and so was his conscience
So he took the train back up to my place
Never been so glad to see such a sad face
But I’m in a vice grip again

The water under a burning bridge
Is stronger than the flame
And I feel the same

I guess all feelings die out eventually
Like a fight in the bar or a dream in the city
With big wig believers and high-rise achievers
Tearin’ the blue in the sky–scrape the ether
Neither of us can deny–

That it’s true everything does die eventually
But it’s not your time in a gown on a gurney
Can’t stand in the doorway the rest of my life
But won’t leave you now in the fluorescent lights
I’ll wait ‘til your new love arrives,
then I slip out the side

‘Cuz the water under a burning bridge
Is stronger than the flame
And I feel the same
