Needles stabbed into the walls   The executioners curtain call   Fighting back he found his life drowning   And there was no way up      Cause Richard hung himself   Richard hung himself   It happened just the other day   Jesus caught and pushed him off the shelf   He thought he find a better way   With slashing, and stabbing, and manning and ramming      Death room with black curtains   Where his clothes once laid   The roof kicked out and the rope tied to the rafters   A quick kick of the cahir   And it's all through   If Richie only knew      Cause Richard hung himself   Richard hung himself   It happened just the other day   Jesus caught and pushed him off the shelf   He thought he find a better way   With needles, injecting and shooting himself contagiously      His life suddenly flashed right before his eyes   What a swinging guy   Turning gray with mold   This is when he died      Give it up give up   Throw it all away      Burning acid bath   Pulmonary wrath   Feel the boiling surge   It won't let you go      Throw it all away [2x]   Throw it all a....... [2x]   Throw it all away      Swinging in his room   Richie won't come out to play   That poor bastard hung himself the other day   Oh how the years seem to fly by   Is death the final high      Cause Richard hung himself   Richard hung himself   It happened the other day   Jesus caught and pushed him off the shelf   He thought he find a better way   With slashing and stabbing and ripping   And stabbing and shredding and slashing   And shredding and stabbing and ripping   And tearing attacking and manning   And taking the body god gave to you      I gotta get out      Cause Richard hung himself   Cause Richard swung himself   Cause Richard strung himself   The needles stung himself   It pulled him off the shelf   Cause Richard hung himself
