[Intro]

[Verse 1]
As he taxes a draw on the fifteenth floor
He can't help cursing his luck
Life could have dealt him such a different hand
Maybe two across and twenty-three up

But there ain't door on the thirty-eighth floor
No shortcut out of this dump
The nearer highrise comes closer to the skies
The temptation to actually jump

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's sadder, the leaving than left
Sadder, the going than gone
Saddest of all is the person bereft
Of the chance to jump off or walk on

[Chorus]
Falling from ladder, landing on dagger
A thousand and one ways to die
Better the brave and the early to grave
And damn those too frightened to try

[Verse 2]
As he awaits the last score on the 25th floor
He looks down at the madness below
It's always some Grimsby or Scunthorpe
Some place he ain't been or won't go
