LIVING ON THE EDGE OF THE NIGHT
(Iggy Pop)

 
You went off the river
  
Smoke stacks fade to blind
      
This town's my own, ridin'free and alone
    
And I'm looking back
                  
Maybe I know some people
                   
Maybe I break some rules
                             
But this is the street, I've got to compete
                 
Baby, I ain't no fool

                                 
*So I take a little bad with the good
                
  It ain't just black and white
(It still ain't black and white)
                              
  You've got to deal with the real
                                  
Woo, living on the edge of the night


Every wild desire
 
Beckons from the dark
      
I've made my bed but I can't risk my head
      
While I still swim with sharks
              
Everyone needs something
                          
Sometimes they don't know why
                         
But so much good's been misunderstood
                    
 In the blink of the eye

(Repeat *)

                       
 You say that you don't like it
                     
Or maybe it's just my life
                    
So you live yours and I'll keep mine
                                                                  
Rolling like a wheel through the city on the edge of the night
               
And when the black rain's down
         
In this cold grey town
         
I'll be waiting
                               
Waiting at the edge of the night
                                  
Woo, living on the edge of the night
                                           
Woo, living on the edge of the night
