Walking 'round this metropolis With its buildings that reach to the clouds There must be millions of people out there Walking 'round with their heads bowed This city kills me, but it thrills me Now something's gone and held up the crowd They're pointing at a man standing high on a ledge And somebody just cried out loud Don't look down at the people below, oh Don't look down It's a long way to fall and I'd sure like to know What made it happen, sure makes you think Must have been something special To send him to the brink Down here on the sidewalk, he's clearly in view Then a voice shouts up to him Try thinking it through but whatever you do Chorus: Don't look down At the people below, oh Don't look down, things might start looking up You just never know He's heard the cries of the lunatics facing defeat The cheers of the winners Who are dancing in the street Perhaps the crime and corruption finally got through And the violence of the city Just broke him in two Now a voice from the queue shouts Chorus Don't look down, don't look down Down here on the sidewalk It's stopped all our lives People are talking instead of just walking by Before this happened it was just another day Now people are talking instead of walking away Now we're gripped by this tragedy Our blood starts to pump as we all shout together Don't jump, don't jump Chorus Don't look down, we all shouted out, oh Don't look down It's a long way to fall and I'd sure like to know What made it happen, guess we'll never know Now the sun's come out Looks like he's standing on a rainbow He's in the heavens, I'm standing on the ground Saying don't look down
