| Don't | |

| Walking 'round this metropolis | |
| With its buildings that reach to the clouds | |
| There must be millions of people out there | |
| Walking 'round with their heads bowed | |
| This city kills me, but it thrills me | |
| Now something's gone and held up the crowd | |
| They're pointing at a man standing high on a ledge | |
| And somebody just cried out loud | |
| Don't look down at the people below, oh | |
| Don't look down | |
| It's a long way to fall and I'd sure like to know | |
| What made it happen, sure makes you think | |
| Must have been something special | |
| To send him to the brink | |
| Down here on the sidewalk, he's clearly in view | |
| Then a voice crys up to him | |
| Try thinking it through but whatever you do | |
| Don't look down | |
| At the people below, oh | |
| Don't look down, | |
| things might start looking up | |
| You just never know | |
| He's heard the cries of the lunatics facing defeat | |
| The cheers of the winners | |
| Who are dancing in the street | |
| Perhaps the crime and corruption finally got through | |
| And the violence of the city | |
| Just broke him in two | |
| Now a voice from the queue shouts | |
| Don't look down | |
| At the people below, oh | |
| Don't look down, | |
| things might start looking up | |
| You just never know | |
| Don't look down, don't look down | |
| Down here on the sidewalk | |
| It's stopped all our lives | |
| People are talking instead of just walking by | |
| Before this happened it was just another day | |
| Now people are talking instead of walking away | |
| Now we're gripped by this tragedy | |
| Our blood starts to pump as we all shout together | |
| Don't jump, don't jump | |
| Don't look down | |
| At the people below, oh | |
| Don't look down, | |
| things might start looking up | |
| You just never know | |
| Don't look down, we all shouted out, oh | |
| Don't look down | |
| It's a long way to fall | |
| I'd sure like to know | |
| What made it happen, guess we'll never know | |
| Now the sun's come out | |
| Looks like he's standing on a rainbow | |
| He's in the heavens, I'm standing on the ground | |
| Saying don't look down, hey.. | |
| don't look down................... |
