Violent Femmes - Out The Window Lyrics
Life was funLife was greatTil I made my big mistakeOh no itll never happen to meLife was shortAnd life was sweetI was thinking as I hit the streetI could hardly beleveI could scarcely conceiveBut I had gone out the windowI had gone out the windowI had gone out the windowShe was fineShe looked greatAnd so we made our big mistakeI swear I swear I swearItd never happen to herBut the pavement knocked her head aroundWhen she hit the solid concrete groundFrom 30 flights aboveAnd she was thirty something loving nothingGone out the windowShe had gone out the windowShe had gone out the windowCatch me if Im falling,Catch me if Im callingHe was smart he was wiseHed profoundly philosophizeEmpathy for all humanitytil one day by an open windowTheres a note that readIve gone out the window - Im deadHe said yes to life for all of his lifeBut then one day he said noI gotta go out the windowWe all go out the windowCatch me I am fallingCatch me I am callingCatch me we are fallingCatch me we are callingGordon gano: vocal, acoustic guitarBrian ritchie: acoustic bass guitar vocalVictor delorenzo:Brushed snare drum, wood, cowbell, arabic tabla, vocalMixed by david vartanian gorno music reprinted with permission
