Up here on the ledge
I`m getting pushed to the edge
People line up behind me to step into my shoes,
Up here in the precipice
I`m getting close to my nemesis
People fighting each other to jump into my blues
There`s a young kid inside me somewhere
He stays up all night, a vampire that never dies,
With the blood and the moon in his eyes
I hear his voice when I`m comin` down,
Sleep is for fools, whe never see the sunrise,
Who never get to live twice.
I was a face in a magazine,
When you were still playin` with your plasticine,
Now you`re doggin` my tail, ridin` the slipstream,
You can take the fans and the enemies
The little girls who squeeze and tease
Then pass on their social disease,
Go get your penicillin.
I know you young and dumb,
I know where you`re comin` from.
Don`t know where you`re goin` to,
But I bin there same as you,
You`re running out of ideas,
And new hats to try on.
I know you middle age
Same song, different page,
I know what you`re goin` through
Made the same mistakes as you,
All you want is some hope
And a shoulder to cry on.
There`s a stranger inside me somewhere
That shadow behind me, don`t even look like me.
An echoed apology.
He`s a wolf in sheep disguise,
I wake up in places I don`t even recognize,
Pretender in paradise.
It`s your turn, step up and take it
If you`ve got the guts to hang on
You can make.
C`mon, c`mon, come on,
Ooooh take it!
