Verse 1

I was in the air when the towers came down

 In a bar on the 84th floor

I bought Philippe Petit a round

 And asked what his high wire was for

 He said, "I put one foot on the wire

One foot straight into heaven

As the prophets entered boldly into the bar

 On the Boeing 737, Lord, on the Boeing 737"

Chorus

Hey, little bird, would you be the one

To nest beneath my Gatling gun?

There's nothing left I call my own

Come down and build me a home

Verse 2

I was in a bar when they rigged the towers

Trying to leave all my sins

The barmaid asked my order

 And where my mind had been

I tried to recall the high wire

Philippe and his foot there in heaven

 As the prophets entered boldly into the bar

 On the Boeing 737, Lord, on the Boeing 737

Chorus x2
