Song Lyrics

needles were stabbed into the walls
the executioner's cutain call
fighting back he found his life drowning
and there was no way up
'cause richard hung himself
richard hung 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
'cause richard hung himself
richard hung himself
t 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
'cause richie hung himself the other day
oh how the world seems to fly by
his death the final high
'cause 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...
