When this old world starts getting me downAnd people are just too much for me to face
I 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 beAnd there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)
I get away from the hustling crowd
And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof)
On the roof, the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof)
This metal statue has been perches atop of a downtown building on Main Street, across from the Capitol, for as long as I can remember. Lyrics from The Drifters' song, "Up on the Roof," written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King.

Isn't that thing huge? If I'm remembering correctly, I was quite startled to notice it one day.
How cool is that??????? I would love to have one!!!
Alice: Yes, it is pretty big, looks like a "real" person at a glance, and I think it does have a startling effect on those seeing it for the firt time.
FA: Very cool indeed, LOL. Thanks for visiting!
Hope he doesn't jump. ;-)
