You were born in KC, Missouri
To a girl who wasnt married
after your birth she brought u to the nursery
kissed ur head and told u not to worry
and then quietly she turned, and slipped away

In the elevator, he heart began to puond
to the rooftop, in her slippers and her gown
on the edge, she took one last look around
and closed her eyes and pushed away

Chorus
speeding toward the ground
through the air without a sound, so gracefully

12 flights down, nearly naked on the ground
still a tragedy always attracts a crowd
so it was when the policeman came around
he took more than 50 eyewitness acounts
each one in awe, for theyd never seen a girl, so sad and beautiful

speeding toward the ground
through the air without a sound
speeding toward the ground
through the air without a sound, so gracefully
