Текст (слова) песни: Barenaked Ladies - When I Fall

 
I look straight in the window, try not to look below 
Pretend I`m not up here, try counting sheep 
But the sheep seem to shower off this office tower 
It’s 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? 
 
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 to 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 
 
Look straight in the mirror, watch it come clearer 
I look like a painter, behind all the grease 
But painting`s creating, and I`m just erasing 
A crystal-clear canvas is my masterpiece 
 
(Chorus) 
(Chorus) 
 
When I fall 
When I fall 
 
When I fall
