Song i've been working on. It may suck. It was rather whimsical. Thanks for any comments!
The Edge of the Knife
(Drum plays up gradually, faster and faster)
Go, go, go!
Wind is blowing through my hair,
Mind’s a hundred miles an hour.
Speed demon’s showing; churning oil,
Burning rubber! Nearer and nearer!
(Chorus)
Here on the edge!
Here on the e-edge!
Its clear on the edge…
The edge of the knife)
Sins are lost back in my tracks,
Conscience’s a free soaring bird!
Dozen rivers crossed; cool blue water,
Warm grey steam! Hotter and hotter!
(Chorus
Here on the edge!
Here on the e-edge!
It’s clear on the edge…
The edge of the knife)
Skin, steel are one bound in trust
Pavement screams pain and sorrow!
Destination approaches; flashing light,
Beautiful sight! Brighter and brighter!
(Chorus
Here on the edge!
Here on the e-edge!
It’s clear on the edge…
The edge of the knife)
(Bridge
Why would I deny?
I can’t live a lie!
Just ignore the pain…
Life’s more fun in the fast lane!
(Drum beat)
In the fast lane!)
Choice is long past in dust,
Screech is known the longest word!
Arrival is here; take your chance,
One last dance…
(End chorus
But…I…know
My place…
And it goes…
Here on the edge!
Here on the e-edge!
It’s clear on the edge…
I live here on the edge…
The edge of the knife!
The edge…of…the…Knife!)
