Rick Springfield: Walking on the edge [lyrics]

Rick Springfield

Walking on the edge

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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

I sit here and contemplate my future 

And all the songs that we all sing 

Don't really do a thing

CHORUS
