He was seen on the fifteenth floor   Straight up and straight down   He seemed to lean into the wind   And scream like an old bloodhound   Two more inches would do it   Midnight to midday   There was always a crowd   A 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      Chorus:   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 and 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   Hangouting around   Till everyone comes to see   Again they'll all be let down      (Chorus)      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   Fifteen 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 (x8)
