Paul Kelly - Song From The Sixteenth Floor текст песни

Something's frying
On the floor below
I'm leaning out

My window

Sky's on fire
The street's all aglow
And somebody's singing
To the radio

I would jump from the sixteenth floor
If I only could get next to you
Put my head in a lion's jaw
If I only could get next to you

I'm walking the floor
I'm climbing the walls
I wake up from dreaming
And that's when I fall

I would jump from the sixteenth floor
If I only could get next to you
Put my head in a lion's jaw
If I only could get next to you
Take a ride on a wrecking ball
Yes I would darling

Every day I speak your name
If I had wings I'd fly
'Cause you're not here to hold me

I would jump from the sixteenth floor
(Sixteenth floor)
Put my head in a lion's jaw
(Lion's jaw)
I'd walk on burning coals
(Burning coals)
I'd sell my only soul
Yes I would

Every day I speak your name
If I had wings I'd fly
There's no-one here to hold me

(instrumental)

I'd walk on burning coals
(Burning coals)
I'd sell my only soul
(Only soul)
I'd jump from the sixteenth floor
(Sixteenth floor)
Put my head in a lion's jaw
(Lion's jaw)
Take a ride on Niagara Falls
(Niagara Falls)
Over broken glass I would crawl
(I would crawl)
