THE 3RD RAIL

SOMETIMES I WANT TO TOUCH THE 3RD RAIL
JUST TO ESCAPE MY LIVING HELL
PEOPLE ALWAYS LOVING, BUT WATCHING ME DIE
NEVER DO THEY SEE ME CRY
SOMETIMES I WANT TO TOUCH THE 3RD RAIL
LET THE VOLTAGE RUN FREE
NO NORE PAIN
NO MORE MISERY
NO MORE EXPLAINING ME
SOMETIMES I WANT TO TOUCH THE 3RD RAIL
WRITE MY LAST GOODBYES
WALK AWAY FROM ALL THE LIES
BUT HELL IS NO PLACE FOR ME
GOD HAS A PLAN FOR ME
SO I SUFFER PATIENTLY
SOMETIMES I WANT TO TOUCH THE 3RD RAIL
