Good God, don't jump
The boy sat on the ledge
The old man who had fainted was revived
He's all right
And everyone agreed it would be miracle indeed
If the boy survived.

Save the life of my child
Cried the desperate Mother

A woman from the supermarket ran to call the cops
He must be high on something, someone said
Though it never made the New York Times
In the Daily News the caption read

Save the life of my child
Cried the desperate mother

Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again

A patrtol car passing by halted to a stop
Said Officer MacDougal in dismay
The boss can't do a decent job
Because the kid's got no respect
For the law today

Save the life of my child
Cried the desperate mother
Oh, what's becomig of the children
People ask of each other

When darkness fell, excitement kissed the crowd and it made them wild
In the atmosphere of freakly holiday
When the spotlight hit the boy
And the crowd began to cheer
He flew away

Oh, my grey sky, got no hiding place
Oh, my grey sky, got no hiding place
Oh, my grey sky, got no hiding place
Oh, my grey sky, got no hiding place...
