Walking on the Edge Songtext
von Rick Springfield

Right by is a chasing coin
It′s a black club that I can't join
It′s a man's world from a man's mind
And a woman gives birth to a man
There′s no middle ground, it′s famine or feast
Wars in the west, wars in the east
Man of God in the grip of the beast
You'll all go back to the promised land

Keep on, keep on whispering in the night
There′s no problem if it's not in sight
In the face of annihilation, we still plan futures for the children
Keep on whispering in the night
People talk, it′s just cocktail chatter
What we say, anyway, doesn't really matter

Everybody, time is tight
We′re walking on the edge of the long black night
From the left and from the right
They're walking on the edge of the long black night
And waiting on the big bang


Wake up, wake up, yes, this is your life too
The light of spirit also burns in you
In the face of extermination, we still plan futures for the children
Get up, yes, this is your life too
We talk and talk and shake our heads in wonder
Nothing that we can do can stop us from going under

Everybody, time is tight
We're walking on the edge of the long black night
From the left and from the right
They′re walking on the edge of the long black night
And waiting on the big bang

I sit here and contemplate my future
And all the songs that we all sing
Don′t really do a thing

Everybody, time is tight
We're walking on the edge of the long black night
From the left and from the right
They′re walking on the edge of the long black night
And waiting on the big bang

Waiting, waiting
For the bang

Everybody, time is tight
We're walking on the edge of the-


Everybody, time is tight
We′re walking on the edge of the long black night
From the left and from the right
They're walking on the edge of the long black night

Everybody, time is tight
We′re walking on the edge of the long black night
From the left and from the right
They're walking on the edge of the long black night

Everybody, time is tight
We're walking on the edge of the long black night
From the left and from the right
They′re walking on the edge of the long black night
And waiting
Waiting
I′m waiting
