Jump Back

You, you never wondered why

Why, you'd need an alibi

Don't you know not to get high

On your own formaldehyde?

Can't nobody makes it out alive

But the jugular is a good place to get started

Sometimes it's best to rip it right out

Jump back, let the air condition

Now it's dull black once was grey

Knocked flat, but he's up again

That's why the cold slap got it's name

Well it's not bad for a broken man

'cos it's a known fact it's no game

You, you never wondered at all

What's the harm in getting a little comfortable?

Tou didn't wann bother trouble

Till you saw them with their shovels

And they ain't the type to listen to rebuttals

But the jugular is an easy target

Sometimes it's best to rip it right out

Jump back, 'cos it's always been

Somehow the cold facts lay there plain

Exactly juust what they meant

When they said all that stays is the stain

You know that this ain't no age of the innocent

And it's a known fact that it's no game

Only one thing, only one thing comes in coffins

Down at the cemetry it ain't exactly hoppin'

But don't fear john the revelator

There's time enough for dying later

At least that's what i read in sunday's papers
