I've been standing on the edge of the roof looking down

I've been looking at the people that are gathering around

I've been here for an hour or maybe even more

just looking at the people that I've never seen before

stupid little faces are all I can see

those silly little suckers are all laughing at me

no wills cheap thrills you're puppets to the master

your only satisfaction is my lonely disaster

you learned how to creep and you learned how to crawl

but you never really learned anything at all

when I was a boy everything was just fine

I learned how to talk and how to walk in line

I had to learn the rules that build our society

but I could never understand it didn't mean shit to me

everybody always told me I was out of my mind

but I never did kiss anybodys behind

I'm a lot older and I guess I should know

but I'm standing on the roof just watching the show

standing on the edge and my step belongs to me

and I'm telling you all I won't miss what I see

one foot over theres no time to turn around

both feet are over and I'm heading for the ground

I'm flying in the air and I can feel the cool breeze

the people on the pavement have gone into a freeze

no space no time it's like walking on the moon

my heart is still beating but It won't be soon

I can hear myself scream when I hit the street

I can't feel a thing from my head to my feet

I told you I would do it and I didn't even cry

I feel more alive dead then when I was alive
