Cokie The Clown Swing And A Miss Lyrics
Swing And A Miss by Cokie The Clown
As much as everyone else, they were crying and screaming
While I just tried to get him down
While I lifted his body, Jerry was able to free his neck from the coaxial cable
Then we saw him exhale and thought we got him down in time
But then I got a whiff of his breath, now Jagermeister will always have the stench of death
Everybody wondered why there was so much blood, Hanging doesn't usually leave such a mess
I explained to them the day before he tried the same thing, but like his life he had little success
He made a noose out of a whip he bought in Mexico
I heard him hit the floor while I was cooking beans
He said the whip broke and he split his head on the sink
That's when a normal person probably intervenes
But the actual words that I said to him, were, Dude don't do that again
I probably should have called his family, but I just told my girlfriend kinda casually
She didn't see the gravity of what I said
So I was the only one not surprised the next day when we found him dead
After the paramedics left, we started to drink, then we went to a party to try not to think
About what we'd just seen, we were only 19
Then someone asked who was gonna clean up the scene
There was a blood stained floor, and a kicked in door
But everyone was thinking bout what they could score
His girlfriend bereaved, while the rest of us thieved, his room became a used record store
Millie cried and told us we all suck, when Vicky grabbed the keys and tried to take his pickup truck
When his parents flew up the next day, I showed them where it happened
But I didn't know what to say
Except, that's where we got him down, that's when they noticed that the floor was still brown
Cuz we didn't have the decency, to mop up the blood that his parents might see
They held each other and cried when they realized they were standing in a dried blood puddle
Where their beautiful son had died. From his successful suicide
While I just tried to get him down
While I lifted his body, Jerry was able to free his neck from the coaxial cable
Then we saw him exhale and thought we got him down in time
But then I got a whiff of his breath, now Jagermeister will always have the stench of death
Everybody wondered why there was so much blood, Hanging doesn't usually leave such a mess
I explained to them the day before he tried the same thing, but like his life he had little success
