Suspension Bridge

My daddy took me to see it

When I was no more than ten

They just finished painting the metal and

Then they'd have to start all over again

And i'm still standing there

On that suspension bridge

With the wind blowing through my head

And the daredevil pilots fly over me

And the suicide lovers swim under the sea

And the murderers submit an innocent plea

And the prisoners dream of the free

And i'm still standing there

On that suspension bridge

With the wind screaming through my head

Not in one world or the other

Losing my father like I lost my mother

And the stories that my daddy told me

About the place on the other side

About the dip of the chains

And the height of the piers

And the men who worked there and died

And i'm still standing there

On that suspension bridge

With the wind blowing clear through my head

Not in one world or the other

I got no sister and I got no brother

Suspension bridge

And the daredevil pilots fly over me

And the suicide lovers swim under the sea

And the murderers submit an innocent plea
