He was seen on the 15th floor
Straight up and straight down
He seemed to lean into the wind

And scream like an old bloodhound

Two more inches will do it

Midnight to midday
There was always a crowd
Traffic jam and someone to pray


Heaven above hold him back
Hold out and hold on

He would say to himself
I'll be bigger than life when I'm gone


He's a legend unto himself
A legend unto himself
A legend unto himself

A legend unto himself
There's nothing between him and the pavement
And there's nothing between him or anyone else


Everyday he would try
Two feet up, two feet down

Fifteen stories high
Became old familiar ground


Nice view of the river today
Sunrise and sunset
A lady screamed on the street below

He wished he hadn't noticed just yet

Kinda peaceful up here all alone

Hang outing around
Til everyone comes to see
Again they'll all be let down


He's a legend unto himself
A legend unto himself

A legend unto himself
A legend unto himself
There's nothing between him and the pavement

And there's nothing between him or anyone else

He leaned out far today

Too far, too close
He closed his eyes and he felt the wind
He could hear the silence of the crowd almost


15 stories is quite a tall tale
Straight up and straight down

The crowd disappeared and the traffic returned
The legend spread quickly through town
He became a legend unto himself


A legend unto himself
A legend unto himself

A legend unto himself
A legend unto himself
A legend unto himself

A legend unto himself
A legend unto himself
A legend unto himself
