When I Fall Lyrics - Rock Spectacle (live) - Barenaked Ladies

I look straight in the window, try not to look below 

Pretend I'm not up here, I try counting sheep 

But the sheep seem to shower off this office tower 

It's 9.8 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 

Can't look below me, or something will throw me 

I curse at the windstorms that October brings

I look straight 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 

Photos 

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?
