Jump, Little Children - 15 Stories lyrics

He was seen on the fifteenth floor Straight up and straight down He seemed to lean into the wind And scream like an old bloodhound Two more inches would do it Midnight to midday There was always a crowd A traffic jam and someone to pray Heaven above, hold him back Hold out and hold on He would say to himself I'll be bigger than life when I'm gone Chorus: He's a legend unto himself A legend unto himself A legend unto himself A legend unto himself There's nothing between him and the pavement And there's nothing between him and anyone else Everyday he would try Two feet up two feet down Fifteen stories high Became old familiar ground Nice view of the river today Sunrise and sunset A lady screamed on the street below He wished she hadn't noticed just yet Kinda peaceful up here all alone Hangouting around Till everyone comes to see Again they'll all be let down (Chorus) Leaned out far today Too far too close He closed his eyes and he felt the wind He could hear the silence of the crowd almost Fifteen stories is quite a tall tale Straight up and straight down The crowd disappeared and the traffic returned The legend spread quickly through town He became a legend unto himself A legend unto himself (x8)
