lyrics

He’s on a hellride
He’s gonna go down
Nothing in the world can save him
Better stand well clear of that clown
Eyes screwed up really tight

He’s concentrating hard
Fights you like you’re some kinda disease,
He won’t give himself a chance

Don’t grab his hand
As he goes down the hole
Don’t call out he can’t hear you
There’s no-one home.

Don’t do the things he asks
It’ll only make things worse
In the end you’ll find you’ve done
The things that you shoulda done first
Everybody suffered more
Because we all tried to be nice
He was clutching every straw
But he was only shooting dice

Don’t grab his hand
As he goes down the hole
Don’t call out
He can’t hear you
There’s no-one home.

No-one gets a message that far down the hole
It’s spreading out from him
Getting darker as he goes

Stay away from the edge of the platform
As the hellbound train goes through
Don’t get caught up in the slipstream
Because it won’t help him or you
Give up now
Just give up now
Give yourself a break
Lotta people tried to help and now
They had all that they can take

Don’t grab his hand
As he goes down the hole
Don’t call out
He can’t hear you
There’s no-one home.

No-one gets a message that far down the hole
It’s spreading out from him
Getting darker as he goes
