The Stage Dive

I got some tickets to a concert, 
To see my favourite band, 
And wanted to invite all my friends, 
Because they were massive fans. 

By the time it was the day of the show, 
All my friends had all pulled out, 
One had double booked with his girl, 
Another one got bad gout. 

Determined not to feel that bad, 
I went to see the show, 
And have the fun of all my friends, 
Because they were too busy to go. 

Finally the band came on, 
They were really rocking out, 
As i was dancing in the mosh pit, 
I heard somebody shout. 

A man was getting pushed to the front, 
And eventually onto the stage, 
He was playing air guitar with the band, 
And strumming the air with rage. 

Security though was close at hand, 
And the man knew what was coming, 
Just as he was lined up for a tackle, 
The man just started running. 

The band continued to play their songs, 
And the pit were jumping around, 
The stage was now calling at me, 
A light bulb and a BING sound. 

I urged the people around me, 
To get me to the front, 
Once there i was flung onto stage, 
With one almighty grunt. 

The Security man who liked to tackle, 
Was staring right directly at me, 
I turned to look out into the crowd, 
At the people who looked like a sea. 

The security man was in full sprint, 
As i ran toward the front, 
The security man slid right on by, 
As i began my jump. 

As if in slow mo i flew through the sky, 
And looked to where I'd land, 
And a mix of guitar and crashing drums, 
Reverberated from the band. 

People below me with eyes wide open, 
Watched me as I started to pray, 
And instead of being there to catch me, 
They started moving away. 

It occured to me then as i sailed the air, 
And really not making a sound, 
I forgot how cold and hard it looked, 
As i was heading directly to ground. 

The breaking of ribs and spraining of hand, Will not put me off in the least, 
For when the time comes to do it again, 
I'll fly like another bird released.
