[00:11.400]"Good God! Don't jump!"
[00:13.300]A boy sat on the ledge
[00:14.900]An old man who had fainted was revived (he's alright)
[00:18.700]And everyone agreed it would be a miracle indeed
[00:22.000]If the boy survived
[00:23.900]
[00:24.800]"Save the life of my child!"
[00:28.800]Cried the desperate mother
[00:34.400]
[00:43.700]The woman from the supermarket
[00:45.500]Ran to call the cops
[00:47.500]"He must be high on something," someone said
[00:51.200]Though it never made The New York Times
[00:53.400]In The Daily News, the caption read
[00:56.100]
[00:57.400]"Save the life of my child!"
[01:01.400]Cried the desperate mother
[01:06.700]
[01:20.200]Hello, darkness, my old friend
[01:24.600]I've come to talk with you again
[01:26.800]
[01:27.100]A patrol car passing by
[01:29.300]Halted to a stop
[01:30.900]Said officer MacDougal in dismay:
[01:34.700]"The force can't do a decent job
[01:36.600]'Cause the kids got no respect
[01:38.000]For the law today (and blah blah blah)."
[01:40.500]
[01:40.900]"Save the life of my child!"
[01:44.900]Cried the desperate mother
[01:48.600]"Oh, what's becoming of the children?"
[01:52.400]People asking each other
[01:56.200]
[01:59.400]When darkness fell, excitement kissed the crowd
[02:01.700]And it made them wild
[02:03.100]In the atmosphere of freaky holiday
[02:06.700]When the spotlight hit the boy
[02:08.700]And the crowd began to cheer
[02:11.300]He flew away
[02:14.000]
[02:14.600]"Oh, my Grace, I got no hiding place."
