Just Another Death in New York City

As he was ashen faced and trembling
As he stood there at the door
He said, 'help, cone quick please call the cops
A guy is fallen from the 25th floor'
And we ran out into the sunshine
A crowd was gathering across the street
And then behind the scaffolding
We could see two twisted feet.

Well the crowd was not a large one
But they were mumbling among themselves
'My god' said one 'how did it happen?'
You know he didn't even scream as he fell
It was a multy story construction
And the lift load begun to fall
He'd tried to jump onto a landing
But he'd hit the building wall.

And it was just another death in New York City
Just another page of the coroner's file
His name was Edward something
I looked it up in the times, the New York times
He had a wife and some children
He was all of 35.

And as he waited for the ambulance
and the rescue squad arrived
There were two little kids getting all excited

'Hey man he tried to fly!'
He must have thought he was superman
This is just like m' movie scene
But the tears of the shaken work mates
Weren't scripted for a movie screen.

And a woman took out a camera
And she shot the whole damn thing
She took picutes of the body and the building
She took pictures of anything
She clicked at the rescue workers
As they wrapped him in a canvas bag
She took pictures of his weeping partner
She took pictures of the US flag.

And after the had taken him I heard a woman say
'Well that's why they got danger money
You know they earn a heap of pay'
But the thing I remember clearly
And I'll hear it till the day I die
Was two little kids getting all excited
'Hey man he tried to fly!'

He had a wife anda couple of children
He made the page 45
