A man is chased across the Golden Gate Bridge by police and decides he has no choice but to take the jump. What are those final moments like as he falls to his death?

lyrics

going into the city
on my day off
crossing the bridge
lights up ahead
lights all around
sirens sound
traffic stands still
there's a man on my left

there’s a man on my left

he's looking around
everywhere but down
nowhere to run
nowhere to hide
one leg's over the railing
the other one's close behind
he's looking around
nowhere to go but down

there's a man on my left

he's leaning his weight
off of the Golden Gate
his hands release
followed by his feet

oh how nice
it must be
to feel so free
so much wind
in your hair
nothing but air
