Big stretch and not much sleep I got a couple of plam trees on each side of my cheek And it´s a bright blue Saturday And the rummage sells the rubbish to me
But if I could buy the sky that´s hangin´ Over this bed of mine If I could climb these vines And maybe see what you´re seein´ If you were standing on the corner staring straight Into the eyes of Jesus Christ One porch, one dog, one cockroach only way to be I got sewage fruit and it´s growing out back from roots I don´t know if they belong to me But if I could buy the sky that´s hangin´ Over this bed of mine And if I could climb these vines and maybe see what you´re seein´ Sittin´ at the edge of this building, Twenty stories below, A´ twenty stories below
Twenty stories below Twenty stories below I can´t tell you how many ways that I´ve sat, And viewed my life today, but I can tell you I don´t think that I can find easier way So if I see you walking hand in hand in hand With a three armed man, you know I´ll understand But you should have been in my shoes yesterday You should have been in my shoes yesterday
