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................... |
