Rooftop Psycho
Rooftop Psycho

Dancing in the rain with my switch blade out
Laughing on the rooftop, he hears me shout
Singing with the thunder, I might be dead
Body struck, urged like lightening to the head

I wish I was afraid to express myself
Never want so much to be on a shelf
Tears mix with acid downfall, don't know why
Moving with a rhythm, barely have to try

Singing on the edge, a concrete universe
Dark as heavens that urge me to rehearse
Dancing in a storm with thunderbolts on
Don't care if I risk making it 'til dawn

Dancing in the rain with my switchblade out
Screaming words in night, intoxicated lout
Flailing every limb, my legs lifting higher
Look up to the downpour to set me afire

When this rain ends and the sun slowly rises
I get up off the roof, over with my crisis
Tear my tee off, splash puddles as I'm running
Straight to her arms for passionate loving

Maybe I'm afraid, I'm schizophrenic psycho
My electrocuted soul knows a place where I go
To the rooftop access to plead with the sky
Dance to a god witnessing why I still try

Instead of suicide

Which I'd never try
