Lyrics:

'Rue Saint-Denis'

The snow starts to fall 
On this balcony
Over Rue Saint-Denis, Paris, France 
It sways in the wind 
Like the veil of some bride
Who is dancing her very first dance   
And it touches my skin
And then melts away 
Like mercury grasped in my hands

And then I say I might jump
And you say I’m not the type 
That I’ve never been chasing those highs 
But maybe I like the comedown 
Maybe I’m just here for the fall 

Now the snow is increasing 
While down in the streets 
The two wings begin to collide 
And later this evening 
I’ll turn on the T.V. 
To see how many people have died
And I stretch out my arm
Through the cast iron frame 
Into this wilderness of white 

And I just might jump 
Though I don’t want to die 
You know I’ve never been chasing those highs 
But maybe I like the comedown 
Maybe I’m just here for the fall

Yes, if I should fall
Down from seventh floor 
I’d lie there blood red in the white
Like a red rose grown 
Amongst the lilies, alone 
Like red wine on the dress of that bride
And sirens would ring 
As the ambulance came 
And drove me through the red traffic lights

And I say I won’t jump 
Into this valley of white 
No, I won’t but then maybe I might 
Maybe I like the comedown 
Maybe I’m just here for the fall
Maybe I’m just here for the fall
