[00:00.06] Oliver Paul, twenty years old
[00:03.45] Thick head of hair, worries he's going bald
[00:06.94] Wakes up at quarter past nine
[00:10.74] Fair evades his way down the 96 tram line
[00:14.58] Breakfast on the run again, he's well aware
[00:17.72] He's dropping soy linseed Vegemite crumbs everywhere
[00:24.66] Feeling sick at the sight of his computer
[00:32.39] He dodges his way through the Swanston commuters
[00:36.24] Rips off his tie, hands it to a homeless man
[00:40.12] Sleeping in the corner of a metro bus stand and he screams
[00:44.11] "I'm not going to work today
[00:46.55] Going to count the minutes that the trains run late
[00:50.34] Sit on the grass building pyramids out of Coke cans"
[00:56.83] Headphone wielding to the Nicholas building
[01:05.11] He trips on a pothole that's not been filled in
[01:08.84] He waits for an elevator, one to nine
[01:12.29] A lady walks in and waits by his side
[01:15.78] Her heels are high and her bag is snakeskin
[01:19.72] Hair pulled so tight you can see her skeleton
[01:23.56] Vickers perfume on her breath
[01:26.50] A tortoise shell necklace between her breasts
[01:30.19] She looks him up and down with a botox frown
[01:34.28] He's well used to that look by now
[01:37.23] The elevator dings and they awkwardly step in
[01:41.27] Their fingers touch on the rooftop button
[01:44.67] Don't jump little boy, don't jump off that roof
[01:48.33] You've got your whole life ahead of you, you're still in your youth
[01:52.37] I'd give anything to have skin like you
[01:56.81] He said "I think you're projecting the way that you're feeling
[02:03.10] I'm not suicidal, just idling insignificantly
[02:07.49] I come up here for perception and clarity
[02:10.53] I like to imagine I'm playing SimCity
[02:13.87] All the people look like ants from up here
[02:16.66] And the wind's the only traffic you can hear"
[02:21.10] He said "All I ever wanted to be
[02:23.64] Was an elevator operator, can you help me please?"
[02:28.83] Don't jump little boy, don't jump off that roof
[02:32.83] You've got your whole life ahead of you, you're still in your youth
[02:36.66] I'd give anything to have skin like you
[02:41.46] Don't jump little boy, don't jump off that roof
[02:47.13] You've got your whole life ahead of you, you're still in your youth
[02:51.37] I'd give anything to have skin like you
