Had a piggy bank like a lion's head
Knocked it off the shelf, broke down by the bed
Pennies from a skyscraper can kill
I've lined up my change on the windowsill

Watched for hours, people down below
The wind has frozen my eyes
Lost the courage, could not push them off
Pulled my head inside

Let a winter pass, laying in bed
My coins have all frozen to the windowsill
Walked the shadowed streets in a happy fear
Looking up for change shining through the air

Watched for hours, buildings fall through clouds
The wind has frozen my eyes
Lost the courage, could not hold them up
Fell asleep on a bench

Pennies from a skyscraper can kill
