Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Look straight in the window
Try not to look below
Pretend I'm not up here
I try counting sheep
But the sheep seem to shower
Off this office tower
It's nine point eight straight down
I can't stop my knees
[Verse 2]
I wish I could fly
From this building
From this wall
And I should try
Would you catch me
If I fall?
[Verse 3]
My hands clench the squeegee
My secular rosary
Hang on to your wallet
Hang on to your rings
I can't look below me
Or something will throw me
I curse at the windstorms
That October brings
[Verse 4]
I look straight in the boardroom
A modern pharaoh's tomb
I'd gladly swap places
If they care to dive
They're lined up at the window
Peer down into limbo
They're frightened of jumping
In case they survive
[Verse 5]
I wish I could step from this scaffold
Onto soft green pastures
Shopping malls
Or bed, with my family
And my pastor and my grandfather
Who's dead
[Verse 6]
Look straight in the mirror
I watch it come clearer
I look like a painter
Behind all the grease
But painting's creating
And I'm just erasing
A crystal-clear canvas
Is my masterpiece
[Verse 7]
I wish I could fly
From this building
From this wall
And I should try
Would you catch me
If I fall?
[Verse 8]
I wish I could fly
From this building
From this wall
And If I should try
Would you catch me
If I fall?
[Verse 9]
When I fall
When I fall
When I fall
When I fall
