Song From The Sixteenth Floor

Paul Kelly

Something's frying On the floor below I'm leaning out Of my window The sky's on fire The streets 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 lions jaw If I only could get next to you next to you I'm walking the floor I'm climbing the walls I wake up from dreaming 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 lions jaw If I only could get next to you 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 If I only could get next to you Put my head in a lions jaw If I only could get next to you 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 There's no one here to hold me Funky Instrumental Bit - Mostly I think I'd walk on burning coal I'd sell my only soul I would jump from the sixteenth floor Put my head in a lions jaw (yes I would) Take a ride on Niagara Falls Over broken glass I would crawl
