Washing windows on the Freedom Tower
Cables swaying in the breeze
Like a stagehand on a catwalk
Shining light on you
Sixty stories from the street
Eating dinner with my girlfriend last night
I had a vision in my meatloaf
She likes to make it with a half hard-boiled egg inside
Just like an eye to carve around
Mom, I don't want to be famous
I don't need no validation to feel good
It's enough to see the building sparkle
But when I'm up there with my partner we are brothers
It's like his left hand holds me up
So when I saw his smile tremble under glassy eyes
It felt like gaining thirty pounds
We were tilting oh so slightly toward the Jersey side
I tried so hard not to look down
A cable snapped and we were hanging on for life
A helicopter shined a light
And I imagined watching TV on a hospital couch
I know it doesn't make much sense
