Needles stabbed into the walls
The executioners curtain call
Fighting back he found his life drowning
And there was no way upCause 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 rammingDeath 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 chair
And it's all through
If Richie only knewCause 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 contagiouslyHis life suddenly flashed right before his eyes
What a swinging guy
Turning gray with mold
This is when he diedGive it up give up
Throw it all awayBurning acid bath
Pulmonary wrath
Feel the boiling surge
It won't let you goThrow it all away [Repeat x2]
Throw it all a [Repeat x2]
Throw it all awaySwinging 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 highCause 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 youI gotta get outCause 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
