[00:15.527]I look straight in the window try not to look below
[00:23.447]Pretend I'm not up here try counting sheep
[00:30.247]But the sheep seem to shower off this office tower
[00:37.857]Nine-point-eight straight down I can't stop my knees
[00:45.177]I wish I could fly
[00:47.297]From this building
[00:49.237]From this wall
[00:52.667]And if I should try
[00:54.857]Would you catch me if I fall
[01:07.647]My hands clench the squeegee my secular rosary
[01:14.757]Hang on to your wallet hang on to your rings
[01:22.437]Can't look below me or something might throw me
[01:29.667]Curse at the windstorms that October brings
[01:36.727]I look in the boardroom; a modern pharaoh's tomb
[01:44.337]I'd gladly swap places if they care to dive
[01:51.397]They're lined up at the window peer down into limbo
[01:59.127]They're frightened of jumping in case they survive
[02:06.677]I wish I could step from this scaffold
[02:10.857]Onto soft green pastures shopping malls or bed
[02:15.977]With my family and my pastor and my grandfather who's Dead
[02:25.207]Look straight in the mirror watch it come clearer
[02:32.697]I look like a painter behind all the grease
[02:40.057]But paintings creating and I'm just erasing
[02:47.427]A crystal-clear canvas is my masterpiece
[02:54.847]I wish I could fly
[02:56.987]From this building
[02:58.867]From this wall
[03:02.227]And if I should try
[03:04.107]Would you catch me if I fall
[03:09.657]I wish I could fly
[03:11.837]From this building
[03:13.707]From this wall
[03:17.017]And if I should try
[03:18.887]Would you catch me if I fall
