The Bridge

from The Recipe by Jimmi Carr

lyrics

Suspended high above my disbelief
On a bridge, walking to relief
Clothed in a cloak of soft blue love
And naked underneath

The birds that fly around my head
Guide me with the words they say
I figure on the solid ground ahead
Shines a torch to light my way

The river flows beneath my feat
Writhing like an angry snake
Out into the open sea
Never to return upstream

Evil spirits on the cliff behind
Sending whispers on the wind
Only waiting to cut my lifeline
Just as my bridge to life begins

Do not look back
Do not look down
Grinding, shining, blinded
Towards that sacred ground, that sacred ground
Towards that sacred ground

The river flows beneath my feat
Writhing like an angry snake
Out into the open sea
Never to return upstream (x 2)
