Standing on the ledge Eyes up to the sky I know that I am up here now But still, I'm not sure why My eyes have both seen better days Though I'm not sure what they were Darkness clouds them from my sight Maybe that's what I prefer I'm gonna fly I'm gonna fly Standing on the ledge The whole world standing still All eyes on me waiting to see The power of my will The crowd knows what they want from me A cheap and easy thrill They step outside, their mouths drawn wide Like vultures before the kill I'm gonna fly I'm gonna fly I know that they're waiting for me Down below they're all waiting for me And I know that they're waiting for me in the sky Oh I'm going to fly Standing on the ledge Naked as the day I was born Toes over the edge Just as to my friend I've sworn I know that they're waiting for me Up above, they're all waiting for me I take my hands off of the wall I'm screaming as I fall
