All those pretty lights They're my hallucinations of the near future And I feel nothing But the moving strobes dash below my feet and the Northern breeze almost pushes me off So I'm sure no one will stop to save me Maybe an eagle will pick me up by the shoulders and bring me to her nest And raise me into the bolder, stronger being I never was The impulse: jump jump jump fall             fall         fall I should have stayed home and had dinner with my family, not lie about my visit to the bank. The bank's not even open They always say you regret the second you jump. They were right.
