Life on the Edge
Life on the edge, tumbling down, soundless as mime, timeless as time
Eating away an savouring nothing,the loneliest feeling
The beat of my heart is lost in my chest, hurtling slowly, north by south west
So long since I screamed, the giant below me is shrinking an wilting
Gathering speed, too tired to blink, this nothing is empty, so how can I think?
Will you hold my hand? These thousands of miles are making me dull
Tears can float, stinging my eyes, a beautiful picture filling the sky
It's dark all around, the candle is fading, my light has gone out
I can see a wonder, I can see a wonder
Rising in the sky or am I rising up myself
Crying on a space ship, looking out the back door
Rabbit in the headlights
This glass is too thin, I wish it was cracking, a cold deep inside, that cannot be warmed
I was never this lost, where did I come from? Where is my picture?
Passing these gods, burning forever, a dead silent tempest, through which I must pass
These tears still sting because I can't show you how much I love you
I can see a wonder, I can see a wonder
Rising in the sky or am I rising up myself?
Crying on a space ship, searching out the back door
Rabbit in the headlights
Make me out a scapegoat, raining thru my raincoat
Maybe it's the same rope pullin at my neck
Crying on a spaceship, searching for my tin can
Human in the starlight
Twenty-First century saying
Human in the starlight
Human in the starlight
