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 she 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
