Another soul has fallen from the wayside
Another soul has fallen in vain
Another life has sold a thousand papers
Behind those tired eyes there lies a tale

They found him in a hotel room in Kingston
They found him in his under wear alone
Punctured 40 times from just one needle
Kicked to death in lieu of what he owed

There’s ways to leave this mortal coil that’s really not the one

Everybody thought that she was acting
Attention seeking games she used to play
But all alone when nobody was watching
The colours of the world she turned to grey

They let her go outside she went out dancing
The multi-story carpark was her stage
The footlights of the street seemed so inviting
Close your eyes or turn your head away

There’s ways to leave this mortal coil that’s really not the one

When I’m hungry then I’ll eat
When I’m tired then I’ll sleep
So, tell me what went wrong today
What went wrong today

Jimmy followed in his fathers footsteps
Real estate and smuggling cocaine
His father was a cruel and cunning business man
He shared nothing with his son except his name
Jimmy tried so hard to be respected
Lost fortune
Face and all again
Fell asleep a hosepipe through his window
Should have stayed at home in bed today

There’s ways to leave this mortal coil that’s really not the one

When I’m hungry then I’ll eat
When I’m tired then I’ll sleep
So tell me what went wrong today
What went wrong today
