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 somethings 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 cries out to him, "Try thinking it through but whatever you do      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      "Don't look down   At the people below, oh   Don't look down, things might start looking up   You just never know   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"      "Don't look down   At the people below, oh   Don't look down, things might start looking up   You just never know"      "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"      Hey!   Don't look down   Don't look down   Don't look down   ...
