I fell for you like an acrobat falls to his d**h
Without a net
A somersault swan dive into a water pale
Always pleased to fail
Hundreds of feet below the ropes
Hopelessly crash
The audience gasps
Uniforms of emergency cry "cannonball"
They won't break my fall
But you will pick my limbs up
And put them in their sockets
Gather all the change up
That emptied from my pockets
Before the vultures get to me
Drudging the lake for signs of life
They won't find me
Out to sea
We balance the beams of steel machines
That scape the sky, so high
And you will lift my head up
Bring water to my lips
Hold my hand the whole way
In the ambulance
Before the doctors wheel me in
