Bare***** Ladies - When I Fall Lyrics
Words by steven page & ed robertsonMusic by ed robertsonI look straight in the window, try not to look belowPretend Im not up here, try counting sheepBut the sheep seem to shower off this office towerNine-point-eight straight down I cant stop my knees.Chorus:I wish I could flyFrom this building, from this wallAnd if I should try,Would 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 windstorms that october brings.I look in the boardroom; a modern pharaohs tombId gladly swap places, if they care to diveTheyre lined up at the window, peer down into limboTheyre frightened of jumping, in case they survive.I wish I could step from this scaffoldOnto soft green pastures, shopping malls, or bedWith my family and my pastor and my grandfather whos deadLook straight in the mirror, watch it come clearerI look like a painter, behind all the greaseBut paintings creating, and Im just erasingA crystal-clear canvas is my masterpieceChorus
