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
