[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 come 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
