And then the doorbell rings Somebody asks you could You spare a little time To feel the weight that's mine To lower down your guard Yeah that your heart gets snagged Caught in the wheels and dust dragged Dangled o'er the edge Breathe
You feel you're in too deep So offer up some crumb And drop it in the tin Then slither back within Your crenellated wealth Your educated self Your family your rude health And all the joy it brings Aren't we forgetting something Feet out on the ledge And breathe Breathe Breathe
Then in the heat of noon It finds you like some dog Got parked up in a field Hermetically sealed And scratching at the windshield And howling at the glass At anyone might walk past Were you not aware Were you not aware Were you not aware The sea of broken lives Mechanics doctors housewives Feet out on the ledge Feet out on the ledge Feet out on the ledge And breathe Breathe
