They said: "the clouds looked no nearer when I was lying on the street". The beginning (unseen) says: "lying on top of the building". This was written by a British artist, Liam Gillick, and now adorns this building.
The letters weren't on the windows as I had thought. The letters were a kind of low railing attached outside the windows. The balconies don't appear useful so I think they must be to remind window-openers of that fact.
But maybe there is no sense to be made of this. It's art - there doesn't need to be an explanation. Or even a function.
And that reminds me of a snippet of conversation heard while walking by the open-air artists' market in Stanley Park: a little girl is curious about what she sees; her mother says, dismissively: "It's just art, dear."

Oh, I think that's cool!! Thanks for sharing. And thanks for the support about Earl!
Good art makes you think, and this sure does! How unusual, I really like it! Someone has a very creative mind!
More builders/developers should use our artists. This is such a good example. Well spotted!
...and people squashed out by falling down are no-wanted art :(
Great photos ;-)
You find the neatest stuff.
