D I - Richard Hung Himself Lyrics

Needles were stabbed into the walls
The executioner's curtain 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
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 swinging guy turning gray

With mold, yuck this is how he died
Give it up, give it up, throw it all away
Boiling acid bath, pulmonary 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

Swinging 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 hung 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
