when I saw his bod-y just hang-ing there
I could-n't un-der-stand why I did-n't care
as much as eve-ry-one else
they were cry-ing and scream-ing
while I just tried to get him down
while I lift-ed his bod-y Jer-ry was a-ble
to free his neck from the co-ax-ial ca-ble
then we saw him ex-hale
and thought we got him down in time
but then I got a whiff of his breath
now Jä-ger-meis-ter will al-ways have the stench of death
eve-ry-bod-y won-dered why there was so much blood
hang-ing does-n't u-sually leave such a mess
I ex-plained to them the day be-fore he tried the same thing
but like his life he had lit-tle suc-cess
he made a noose out of a whip he bought in Mex-i-co
I heard him hit the floor while I was cook-ing beans
he said the whip broke and he split his head on the sink
that's when a nor-mal per-son prob-ably in-ter-venes
the ac-tu-al words that I said to him were
dude don't do that a-gain
I proba-bly should have called his fam-i-ly
but I just told my girl-friend kind-a cas-ual-ly
she did-n't see the grav-i-ty of what I said
so I was the on-ly one not sur-prised
the next day when we found him dead
af-ter the par-a-med-ics left we start-ed to drink
then we went to a par-ty to try not to think
a-bout what we'd just seen we were on-ly nine-teen
then some-one asked who was gon-na clean up the scene
there was a blood stained floor and a kicked in door
but eve-ry-one was think-ing bout what they could score
his girl-friend be-reaved while the rest of us thieved
his room be-came a used re-cord store
Mil-lie cried and told us we all suck
when Vick-y grabbed the keys and tried to take his pick-up truck
when his par-ents flew up the next day
I showed them where it hap-pened but I did-n't know what to say
ex-cept that's where we got him down
that's when they no-ticed that the floor was still brown
'cause we did-n't have the de-cen-cy
to mop up the blood that his par-ents might see
they held each oth-er and cried
when they real-ized they were stand-ing in a dried blood pud-dle
where their beau-ti-ful son had died
from his suc-cess-ful su-i-cide
while I lift-ed his bod-y Jer-ry was a-ble
to free his neck from the co-ax-ial ca-ble
thought we got him down in time
got a whiff of his breath
