Out The Window
Violent Femmes, The
Why Do Birds Sing? (1991)

Life was fun life was great
'til I make my big mistake
Oh no it'll never happen to me
Life was short and life was sweet
I was thinking as I hit the street
I could hardly believe
I could scarcely conceive but
I had gone out the window
I had gone out the window
I had gone out the window
She was fine she looked great
And so we made our big mistake
I swear I swear I swear
It'd never happen to her
But the pavement knocked her hear around
When she hit the solid concrete ground
From 30 flights above
And she was thirty something loving nothing
Gone out the window
She had gone out the window
She had gone out the window
Catch me if I'm falling
Catch me if I'm falling
He was smart he was wise
He'd profoundly philosophize
Empathy for all humanity
'Til one day by an open window
There's a note that read
"I've gone out the window - I'm dead"
He said yes to life for all of his life
But then one day he said: no
I gotta go out the window
We all go out the window
Catch me I am falling
Catch me I am calling
Catch me we are falling
Catch me we are calling
