Bare***** Ladies - If I Should Fall Lyrics
I look straight in the window, try not to look belowPretend I'm not up here, try counting sheepBut the sheep seem to shower off this office towerIt's nine-point-eight straight down I can't stop my kneesI wish I could flyFrom this buildingFrom this wallAnd if I should tryWould you catch me If I fall?My hands clench the squeegee, my secular rosaryHang on to your wallet, hang on to your ringsCant look below me or something might throw meCurse at the wind storms that October bringsI look [straight] in the boardroom; a modern pharoh's tombI'd gladly swap places, if they care to diveThey're lined up at the window, peer down into limboThey're frightened of jumping, in case they surviveI wish I could step from this scaffoldOnto soft green pastures, shoppingMalls, or bedThen with my family and my pastor and myGrandfather whoseDeadI look straight in the mirror, watch it come clearerI look like a painter, behind all the greaseBut paintings creating, and I'm just erasingA crystal-clear canvas is my masterpieceI wish I could flyFrom this buildingFrom this wallAnd if I should tryWould you catch meIf I fallI wish I could flyFrom this buildingFrom this wallAnd if I should tryWould you catch me if I fall?[When I fallWhen I fallWhen I fallWhen I fallWhen I…..hmmm..mmmm.]
