Please don't do anything foolish
Like holding your hands up to block out the light
He's got that edge that you get when you work in the city
She's wearing that nervous smile you get when you cry
Parachutes fall out of the sky
They hit the land, come undone
I see them I understand
All filled up with air
They look so beautiful, red, gold and colorful
What would you do with a parachute, man?
Try to work out where your heading
A jump into nothingness worked years ago
He's all loved out and he's dropping the third in a row now
She's packed her bags, she'll be back in a while
Parachutes fall out of the sky
They hit the land, come undone
I see them I understand
All filled up with air
They look so beautiful, red, gold and colorful
What would you do with a parachute, man?
Crumpled like clouds on a hillside we turn into water
Caught between heaven and something we'd better not name
She holds her head up as teardrops go melting her anger
He's getting ready to fall from the sky again
Parachutes fall out of the sky
They hit the land, come undone
I see them I understand
All filled up with air
They look so beautiful, red, gold and colorful
What would you do with a parachute, man?
What would you do with a parachute, man?
What would you do with a parachute, man?
