Without Wings

from Jupiter Cafe by Thermal And A Quarter

/

lyrics

Seemed like just a regular day
With all the regular pain
Standing on a street corner
Look up at the concrete sky
Took the stairs one by one by one
Slow, steady, to lose the one-way race
Don’t want a box to take me anywhere anymore

One hundred floors One hundred years
I’m on top of the jungle
Feel the wind pluck my thoughts
Out from my tangled hair

Looking down
Life becomes so small
My tiny troubles in my tiny mind
We’re going for the fall
Looking down
Deified by altitude
I feel the power in my blood
I’m doing what I should…

Flying without wings
And yet I feel
Like a feather
Falling through a hundred stories
One hundred tales I’ll never tell
Hear the screams through the windows
Of my eyes
I do not make a sound

See the frightened people
Afraid of me
Afraid of me
Who would be free

Looking down
Life becomes so small
My tiny troubles in my tiny mind
We’re going for the fall
Looking down
Deified by altitude
I feel the power in my blood
I’m doing what I should…

Every god has his day
Mine’s about to end
I know there is no night
Funny, I don’t see the light

People getting bigger
At least I stopped the traffic
Open-mouthed at the flying man
They don’t believe their eyes

Crashed into the world
The same way I was born…
