Here are the official lyrics from Touch and Go Records (minor differences):
You made your mark on me.
You laid your past to sleep.
No other might worry.
Alone, but not alive.
Anyone else would slit from sleeve to shoulder.
Anyone else would not deserve your life.
It seems that all lines convalesce beyond your side.
It’s sense that all I’ve worried for is vain.
Larry climbs into his lawn chair.
Waves a goodbye.
Unties from the post.
Races towards the sky.
Takes a sip out off his beer and says, “It looks amazing”.
Climbs until he can’t think.
Can’t hear a sound.
Shoots out the balloons and falls to the ground.
Jumps out off of his chair and says, “It was amazing”.
Now that I’m miles above you here.
Did I snap the last thread of all my fears?
probably my favorite pinback song.
it's obviously about Larry Walters, read more about him here:

Is there nothing left for me to do?
Went out on a hike and he never came back again.
Get me down...
Let me down...
U-oh-a-u-wah...
