Sharp Edges Songtext
von Abandon Jalopy

Being all alone with no one to count on
Makes me feel alone
But sometimes when I lay awake at night
I pull the sharp edges of my life into me
And I hold them tightly
And I hold them tightly
They′ll come to bed with me

Put them to sleep for the night
Pull it all inside
Sanity is waiting
Put them to sleep for the night
Pull it all inside
Sanity is waiting
It's waiting


Some man came to me
He said, "Son, I got a bad life ahead and behind me
I′m in the streets"
And as I walked away I heard him shout
Sharp edges of his life at me
And I hold them guilty
And I hold them guilty
'Cause I saved a quarter for me

Put them to sleep for the night
Pull it all inside
Sanity is waiting
Put them to sleep for the night
Pull it all inside
Sanity is waiting
It's waiting

I dream of one day having someone to tell
Not to play in the streets and show him to the world
And when I′m old and gray
I′ll pull those sharp edges of my life into me
And I'll hold them peacefully
Just save a plot for me


Put them to sleep for the night
Pull it all inside
Sanity is waiting
Put them to sleep for the night
Pull it all inside
Sanity is waiting
Put them to sleep for the night
Pull it all inside
Sanity is waiting
It′s waiting
