lyrics

JUMPERS
From the smell of coffee and faxes whirring
To the open sky and the smell of burning
From keyboards clicking to the sound of screaming
The day changed quickly and without warning

From out of nowhere the aeroplanes came
Through office walls amid the flames
A surreal moment beyond any nightmare
But no time left to stand and stare

Because there's workers jumping from floor 95
The final rush of being alive
From keyboards clicking to the sound of screaming
The day changed quickly and without warning

Another drab day had laid ahead
Bulging in-trays, calls to be made
Deadlines met and emails sent
Earn your money to pay your rent

Now just one choice, which way to die?
To stay and fry or a chance to fly?
To leave this world on the ultimate high
To leap out into the smoky sky

And join the workers jumping from floor 95
The final rush of being alive
From keyboards clicking to the sound of screaming
The day changed quickly and without warning

So holding hands they jumped together
Colleagues, strangers into forever
No time to say goodbye to loved ones
A one way ticket to the great beyond
What must have gone through all their minds?
Seconds before they hit the ground
It shows how quick you life can pass
So live each day as if your last

Workers jumping from floor 95
The final rush of being alive
From keyboards clicking to the sound of screaming
The day changed quickly . . . .
