The Jump Songtext
von Jerry Joseph & The Jackmormons

I sent her out for coffee
Maybe some eggs and bread
She said I love you baby
Yeah, that′s about all she said
She jumped

I never talk about her
You said that I don't care
My voice is getting louder
I′m getting out of here

Don't ask me why I'm leaving
I just can′t say for sure... I jump

I woke at six this morning
For gingerale and rum
Blew off the doctor′s warning
She lost her sense of fun
My house is big and spacious
It's got lots of room to move
The Gods have been most gracious
They′re taking me home soon


Don't ask me why I′m leaving
I just can't say for sure... I jump

I′m standing on the edge of this
I see the rocks and the waves below me
I hear the angels blow their horns
I believe they have come to show me
How to jump I will ... with grace ...with you

I've got a lot of stories
I've got a forty-five
Folks around here tend to bore me
I can′t see see the the sense in staying alive
At night the jungle starts to scare me
I hear the voices dare me
One straw my camels going to break

Don′t ask me why I'm leaving
I just can′t say for sure... I jump


I'm standing on the edge of this
I see the rocks and the waves below me
I hear the angels blow their horns
I believe they have come to show me
I′m standing on the precipice
I know it's going to hurt a lot
I guess it all comes down to this
I′m going to give it all I've got
I will jump... with God... with grace... with you
