Now somethings gone and held up the crowd
At the people below, oh
Don't look down
Before this happened it was just another day
Hey!
At the people below, oh
You just never know"
Must have been something special to send him to the brink
You just never know"
Don't look down at the people below, oh
Don't look down, things might start looking up
Don't look down
Don't look down, things might start looking up
Walking 'round with their heads bowed
You just never know
Now we're gripped by this tragedy
The cheers of the winners who are dancing in the street
Down here on the sidewalk, he's clearly in view
Then a voice cries out to him, "Try thinking it through but whatever you do
People are talking instead of just walking by
They're pointing at a man standing high on a ledge
Perhaps the crime and corruption finally got through
Don't look down, things might start looking up
What made it happen, sure makes you think
What made it happen, guess we'll never know
"Don't jump, don't jump"
Now a voice from the queue shouts
There must be millions of people out there
Don't look down, it's a long way to fall and I'd sure like to know
"Don't look down", we all shouted out, oh
Now the sun's come out, looks like he's standing on a rainbow
This city kills me but it thrills me
He's heard the cries of the lunatics facing defeat
"Don't look down
Don't look down, it's a long way to fall and I'd sure like to know
Down here on the sidewalk it's stopped all our lives
Our blood starts to pump as we all shout together
And somebody just cried out loud
He's in the heavens, I'm standing on the ground
Now people are talking instead of walking away
Don't look down
Saying, "Don't look down"
Don't look down
"Don't look down
Don't look down, don't look down"
At the people below, oh
And the violence of the city just broke him in two
