"The 99th Floor" lyrics

"The 99th Floor"

Everywhere I go, everyone I see
Say "what's the matter witcha boy, ya got a strange a disease?"
Oh, I know, I got something wrong with me
There's a hole in my heart where my baby used to be
Birds in the sky, dogs on the ground
Rats in the garbage but my baby can't be found
I'm going insane, they say she left on the midnight train
There's a hole in the sky, cluster bombs fall like hard rain

I went to see the doctor, shot me full of junk
I'm on the edge of the 99th floor
Everybody say "Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!"
I got a hole, got a hole in my head

Death on the stairs, plague at my door
Ghost in my bed cry "she don't love you anymore"
Oh, mama please, you got the keys to the kingdom
I'm digging holes in my arms, I can't shoot my way to freedom

I went to see the doctor, shot me full of junk
I'm on the edge of the 99th floor
Everybody say "Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!"
I got a hole, got a hole in my head

If you see my baby, tell her I'm in flames
I beg her please for water but no more gasoline
Awww, Jesus christ, I just can't take anymore
I got holes in my hands where she naild me to the floor
Dig me a hole in the groung, I'm gonna jump from the 99th floor

I went to see the doctor, shot me full of junk
I'm on the edge of the 99th floor
Everybody say "Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!"
I went to see the doctor, shot me full of junk
I'm on the edge, everybody say "Jump!"
Everybody say "Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!"
I got a hole, got a hole in my head
