Clarks - What A Way To Go lyrics

I met a man out on a bridge pier He said he's gonna jump to save his soul I said, "What's the world done to make you mad man?" He said, "Sit down, son, now here's the dope" I can't find work 'cause I'm a blind man I can't see but sometimes I can see the light Now is my life a labor of love or is my life a love of labor? I still got a hollow feeling in my life What a way to go What a way to go What a way to go What a way to go I met this girl, her name escapes me Said, "Son, I'd love you to be my man" She wrote her name out on a dollar I spent that dollar on a shot of gin Spent it on a shot of gin I talked him down and then I walked off I turned around and he was gone himself A mile down the road, it came upon me It was me I talked off that ledge It was me I talked off that ledge It was me I talked off that ledge What a way to go What a way to go What a way to go
