Sniper's song

When this old world starts getting me down
People are just too much for me to face
I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
So when I come home feeling tired and beat
I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I'll get far away from the hustling crowd
And all that rat-race noise down on the street
Oh, on the roof, that's the only place I know
Look at the crazy city
Where you just have to wish to make it so
I'll go up on the roof
At night the stars they put on a show for free
And, damnit, the world can share it with me,
Oh I know that you will see
That right smack dab in the middle of my town
I found a paradise that's target-proof
And if this old world starts a-getting me down
There's room enough to shoot, up on the roof
Up on the roof, oh, up on a roof
Up on the roof, up on a roof, on the roof
If I've ever told you, that tonight I don't mind
They'll seize me this evening
Hey, they'll seize me, eh
I got the stars above me and the city lights below
(Oh, oh, yeah, yeah)
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
