Looking outside
See nine stories down
Everybody looks alright
Gonna have a night on the town
But I'm stuck up here
Thinking 'bout what Rapunzel said
And I want to be down there
But I hear Rapunzel shaved her head
And that leaves me up here
With no one but my books
To take me elsewhere
I guess I'll have to set my look on later days
When all of my spent time has been repaid.

It's a ninth-story Saturday
And I wish that I could come out and play
But I can't, I'm stuck here in the rain
Doing time for a later day.

And I'm thinking of you
Wondering how things are at home
And I'm dreaming of your smile
As I sit here all alone
And I hope you're happy
And sharing that sweet smile
With everybody there
As I miss you all the while
But I'm coming home soon
Wearing triumph on my face
And then I'll kiss you
And we'll go to that special place
And never leave
Missing you makes seeing you so sweet.

It's a ninth-story Saturday
And I wish that I could come out and play
But I can't ? I'm stuck here in the rain
Doing time for a later day.
