Lyrics

[00:15] I look straight in the window, try not to look below
[00:23] Pretend I'm not up here, try counting sheep
[00:32] But the sheep seem to shower off this office tower
[00:39] Nine-point-eight straight down I can't stop my knees
[03:26][03:09][00:48] I wish I could fly
[03:28][03:12][00:50] From this building
[03:29][03:13][00:52] From this wall
[03:33][03:17][00:55] And if I should try
[03:35][03:19][00:58] Would you catch me if I fall?
[01:12] My hands clench the squeegee, my secular rosary
[01:19] Hang on to your wallet, hang on to your rings
[01:28] Can't look below me, or something will throw me
[01:36] Curse at the windstorms that October brings
[01:44] I look in the boardroom; a modern pharaoh's tomb
[01:52] I'd gladly swap places, if they care to dive
[02:00] They're lined up at the window, peer down into limbo
[02:08] They're frightened of jumping, in case they survive
[02:16] I wish I could step from this scaffold
[02:21] Onto soft green pastures, shopping malls, or bed
[02:27] With my family and my pastor and my grandfather who's
[02:33] Dead
[02:37] I look straight in the mirror, watch it.e clearer
[02:45] I look like a painter, behind all the grease
[02:52] But painting's creating, and I'm just erasing
[03:01] A crystal-clear canvas is my masterpiece
[04:06][03:58][03:50][03:42] When I fall
