before i jumped
in the movie, there are spirits. they have no substance, they move around us, they observe us, they are us after we die.
and, in this movie, they are named with their last living words. thus, we get to meet a 'geronimo', and a 'two twenty volt!' and a fair number of 'oh shits'. at the end of the movie, as the credits roll, we'll do a 'last living moments' reel. the audience will get to see 'that smell', 'not loaded', 'charging rhino' and 'nice doggie' buy the farm. if we do it right, they'll have tears streaming down as people die horribly, one after another.
so - please log a comment and submit your 'last name'. we'll need a lot of them. i used to have a list somewhere ......

before i jumped
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
living it was something else
you were unattractive
standing in the shadow was
never your right angle
right angles and vectors and points on a plane
how long
til it adds up how you want
how long til it makes sense
infinite in your design
and baby - it's mathematics
but i'm verbose and abstract like the sun
yeah - you're not the only one
ooh - and you're not the only one
and how long
til it's perfect?
you get me right where it hurts
you get me right where it hurts
tell me how
am i ever gonna get down
tell me how it turns out
here i go
it's overboard
my both hands covering eyes
the sharks can smell
they circle round
i think that i
i think that i
could've thought this through
better in the second
before i jumped
i thought of you and i slumped my shoulders down
tell me how
am i ever gonna get down
get myself out of this mess, yes
out of this mess
