If I Should Fall Lyrics - Barenaked Ladies

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 

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 

Cant look below me or something might throw me 

Curse at the wind storms that October brings

I look [straight] in the boardroom; a modern pharoh'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 

Then with my family and my pastor and my 

grandfather whose 

Dead 

I look straight in the mirror, 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 fall 

When I.....hmmm..mmmm.]
