There's a man on a wire line struggling to survive
While I'm sittin' here in traffic tryin' to figure out just why
I've had three drinks before my work day
Two drinks while I was on this drive
And I'm thinking to myself, we're not that different you and I

I hear um talking on the radio trying to figure out just why
Any man would be caught walking unprotected in the ski
Some will call it circus acts, some people call it suicide
And I'm thinking to myself, we're not that different you and I

'Cause there's a lot of room below us, a lot of space to fall
If you're low down now, wait till you loss it all

This city's tryin' to be the death of me
Someone told me once, the pavements thirsty
And if I make it out alive
I think the country's where I'll thrive
Take my watch, take my arms, take my family
As I find the space to move
I drive north across the bridge
Hoping that you're safe upon the other side
Strangely I find your fate tied to mine

'Cause there's a lot of room below us, a lot of space to fall
If you're low down now, wait till you loss it all

There's a blame for every season, cards to every call
If you're lowdown now, wait till you try and crawl
