My daddy took me to see it When I was no more than ten They just finished painting the metal and Then they'd have to start all over again And I'm still standing there On that suspension bridge With the wind blowing through my head And the daredevil pilots fly over me And the suicide lovers swim under the sea And the murderers submit an innocent plea And the prisoners dream of the free And I'm still standing there On that suspension bridge With the wind screaming through my head Not in one world or the other Losing my father like I lost my mother And the stories that my daddy told me About the place on the other side About the dip of the chains And the height of the piers And the men who worked there and died And I'm still standing there On that suspension bridge With the wind blowing clear through my head Not in one world or the other I got no sister and I got no brother Suspension bridge And the daredevil pilots fly over me And the suicide lovers swim under the sea And the murderers submit an innocent plea
