capo 4 — sounds 4 semitones higherINTRO
VERSE 1
I look straight in the window, try not to look be- -low
Pretend I'm not up here, I try counting she--ep
But the sheep seem to shower off this office tower
Nine-point-eight straight down I can't stop my knees
CHORUS
I wish I could fly From this building From this wall
And if I should try Would you catch me if I fall?
VERSE 2
My hands clench the squeegee, my secular rosary
Hang on to your wallet, hang on to your rings
Can't look below me; something might throw me
Curse at the windstorms that October brings
VERSE 3
I look in the boardroom; a modern pharaoh's tomb
I'd gladly swap places, if they care to dive
They're lined up at the window, peer down into limbo
They're frightened of jumping, in case they survive
CHORUS
I wish I could step from this scaffold
Onto soft green pastures, shopping malls, or bed
With my family and my pastor and my grandfather
who's Dead
VERSE 4
Look straight in the mirror, watch it come clearer
I look like a painter, behind all the grease
But paintings creating, and I'm just erasing
A crystal-clear canvas is my masterpiece
CHORUS
I wish I could fly From this building From this wall
And if I should try Would you catch me if I fall?
I wish I could fly From this building From this wall
And if I should try Would you catch me if I fall?
OUTRO
(fade out)
When I fall.....
When I fall.....
When I fall.....
When I fall.....
