[Verse 1]
Something's frying on the floor below
I'm leaning out my window
The sky's on fire, the street's all aglow
And somebody's singing to the radio

[Chorus]
I would jump from the sixteenth floor
If I only could get next to you
Put my head in a lion's jaw
If I only could get next to you

[Verse 2]
I'm walking the floor, I'm climbing the walls
I wake up from dreaming, that's when I fall

[Chorus]
I would jump from the sixteenth floor
If I only could get next to you
Put my head in a lion's jaw
If I only could get next to you
Take a ride on a wrecking ball
Yes, I would, darling

[Pre-Chorus]
Every day I speak your name
If I had wings, I'd fly
'Cause you're not here to hold me
[Chorus]
I would jump from the sixteenth floor (Sixteenth floor)
Put my head in a lion's jaw (Lion's jaw)
I'd walk on burning coals (Burning coals)
I'd sell my only soul (Only soul)
Yes, I would

[Pre-Chorus]
Every day I speak your name
If I had wings, I'd fly
There's no one here to hold me

[Chorus]
I'd walk on burning coal (Burning coal)
I'd sell my only soul (Only soul)
I'd jump from the sixteenth floor (Sixteenth floor)
Put my head in a lion's jaw (Lion's jaw)
Yes, I would
Take a ride on Niagara Falls (Niagara Falls)
Over broken glass, I would crawl (I would crawl)
I'd walk on burning coal (Burning coal)
