Don't Lyrics - Kinks

Walking 'round this metropolis 

With its buildings that reach to the clouds 

There must be millions of people out there 

Walking 'round with their heads bowed 

This city kills me, but it thrills me 

Now something's gone and held up the crowd 

They're pointing at a man standing high on a ledge 

And somebody just cried out loud 

Don't look down at the people below, oh 

Don't look down 

It's a long way to fall and I'd sure like to know 

What made it happen, sure makes you think 

Must have been something special 

To send him to the brink 

Down here on the sidewalk, he's clearly in view 

Then a voice shouts up to him 

Try thinking it through but whatever you do

Chorus: 

Don't look down 

At the people below, oh 

Don't look down, things might start looking up 

You just never know 

He's heard the cries of the lunatics facing defeat 

The cheers of the winners 

Who are dancing in the street 

Perhaps the crime and corruption finally got through 

And the violence of the city 

Just broke him in two 

Now a voice from the queue shouts 

Chorus 

Photos 

Don't look down, don't look down 

Down here on the sidewalk 

It's stopped all our lives 

People are talking instead of just walking by 

Before this happened it was just another day 

Now people are talking instead of walking away 

Now we're gripped by this tragedy 

Our blood starts to pump as we all shout together 

Don't jump, don't jump 

Chorus 

Don't look down, we all shouted out, oh 

Don't look down 

It's a long way to fall and I'd sure like to know 

What made it happen, guess we'll never know 

Now the sun's come out 

Looks like he's standing on a rainbow 

He's in the heavens, I'm standing on the ground 

Saying don't look down
