[Verse 1]
Big stretch, not much sleep
I got a couple of palm trees on each side of my cheek
And it's a bright blue Saturday
In the rummage, sellin' the rubbish to me

[Pre-Chorus]
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'

[Chorus]
If you were standing on the corner
Staring straight in the eyes of Jesus Christ

[Verse 2]
One porch, one dog
And one cockroach, only one way to be
I got sewage fruit and it's growing out back from roots
But I don't know if they belong to me

[Pre-Chorus]
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'

[Chorus]
If you were sittin' on the edge of this building
Twenty stories below
Below
Twenty stories below
Twenty stories below
Twenty stories below

[Outro]
And 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 easy 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
