He was seen on the 15th floor

Straight up and straight down

He seemed to lean into the wind

And scream like an old bloodhound



Two more inches will do it

Midnight to midday 

There was always a crowd

Traffic jam and someone to pray



Heaven above hold him back

Hold out and hold on

He would say to himself

I'll be bigger than life when I'm gone



He's a legend unto himself

A legend unto himself

A legend unto himself

A legend unto himself

There's nothing between him and the pavement

And there's nothing between him or anyone else



Everyday he would try

Two feet up, two feet down

Fifteen stories high

Became old familiar ground



Nice view of the river today

Sunrise and sunset

A lady screamed on the street below

He wished he hadn't noticed just yet



Kinda peaceful up here all alone

Hang outing around

Til everyone comes to see

Again they'll all be let down



He's a legend unto himself

A legend unto himself

A legend unto himself

A legend unto himself

There's nothing between him and the pavement

And there's nothing between him or anyone else



He leaned out far today

Too far, too close

He closed his eyes and he felt the wind

He could hear the silence of the crowd almost



15 stories is quite a tall tale

Straight up and straight down

The crowd disappeared and the traffic returned

The legend spread quickly through town

He became a legend unto himself



A legend unto himself

A legend unto himself

A legend unto himself

A legend unto himself

A legend unto himself

A legend unto himself

A legend unto himself

A legend unto himself
