so i go down to the lobby

and everyone stares

they say take off that foolish hat

what man? i say



so i go down to the lobby

and everyone stares

they say take off that foolish hat

put down that chair



so i go down to the lobby

and everyone's still there

and they say the snow is getting deeper

don't go out there

you can't leave him like that

go back upstairs



so i run down the fire-escape

i leap into the air

and i say-i thought i'd like to fly

i needed air



so i run down the main street

i knock some people down

and they say...i know their lips are moving

i hear no sound

five geese flew down beside me

i ran along

i don't know what you're saying

i'm not unfair



so i go down to the lobby

and everyone's still there

and they say take off that foolish hat

put down that chair

and they say this is your darkest hour

this is my finest moment

you can't leave him like that

he'll be okay.



so i go down to the lobby

i know it...

i know it
