Needles were stabbed in to the walls The executioner's cutain call Fighting back he found his life drowning And there was no way up Cuz Richard hung himself, Richard humg himself It happened just the other day Jesus come and pushed him off the shelf He thought he'd find a better way than Stealing and slamming and maiming and ramming The death who wears black curtains wears clothes what's right The roof kicked out the road tie the rafters A clinking of his chair and he's all through If Richie only knew Cuz Richard humg himself, Richard hung himself It happened just the other day Jesus come and push him off the shelf He thought he found a better way His life suddenly flashed right before his eyes What a swingin' guy Turnin' grey with mold, yuck This is how he died Give it up, give it up, throw it all away Boiling acid bath Polminary wrath Feel the pulling surge It won't let you go Throw it all away, throw it all away, throw it all a, throw it all a, Throw it all away Swingin' in his room Richard won't come out to play Cuz Richie hung himself the other day Oh how the world seems to fly by His death the final high Cuz Richard humg himself, Richard hung himself It happened just the other day Jesus come and push him off the shelf He thought he found a better way by Stealing and tearing and ripping and slamming and tripping and scoring and laughing and laughing and screaming and hurting and tearing and being and taking the body goodbye to you Richard I gotta get out What do I do? Die Richard hung himself
