When I Fall

I look straight in the window try not to look below
Pretend I'm not up here I try counting sheep
The sheep seem to shower off this office tower
Its Nine point eight straight down I can't stop my knees
I wish I could fly
From this building
From this wall
And if I should try
Would you catch me if I fall
My hands clench the squeegee my secular rosary
Hang on to your wallet hang on to your rings
I can't look below me or something might throw me
I curse at the windstorms that October brings
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
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
I look straight in the mirror I 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
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
When I fall
When I fall
When I fall
When I
