The Bridge Songtext

von Eddie from Ohio

I went and jumped off a bridge last night
I don't know why, someone just told me to
Didn't even really put up much of a fight
Now there's seaweed between my toes

Now that I think about it,
It was a pretty good dive
Pretty good form - not much splash
Now that I think about it,
It was a pretty short ride
Sunk like a cannonball,
I think I gained some weight

I jumped off a bridge,
Cause someone told me to
Just goes to show
Don't let anyone tell you what
To think or say or do
Just goes to show
Don't let anyone tell you what
To think or say or do

There were tires and wires
And bicycle frames
Not many trout - fish don't live down there
I got to thinking I must be insane
I shouldn't have listened
This isn't as fun as it sounds

[Chorus]

And so I think that
My lesson's been learned
Gotta be your own man -
Be just like james dean
Chalk it up to an experience earned
What an adventure - I think I broke my neck

[Chorus]
