RIGHT TO THE EDGE

Nice smirk Does it
always work?
You’re smiling like a dog, been rolling ‘round in the dirt
You say you saw me At night in your dreams
No, I don’t want to hear about the things that you’ve seen
‘Cause you play
with fire like you expect to get burned
You say, life’s a game and you’re just taking your turn
But I already know about the lessons you won’t learn
chorus
And I know the company you keep, the allegiances you pledge
You flirt with the devil, share the sacrilege
You climb a skyscraper just to dance out on the ledge
And if the world was flat; you’d go Right To The Edge
You’re hooked
On that dirty look
I bet you practiced in the mirror ‘til your whole body shook
And you’re impressed With how you been blessed
And I see you show it off every chance that you get
Cause you play with fire like you expect to get burned
You say, life’s a game and you’re just taking your turn
But I already know about the lessons you won’t learn
chorus
And I know the company you keep, the allegiances you pledge
You flirt with the devil, share the sacrilege
You climb a skyscraper just to dance out on the ledge
And if the world was flat; you’d go Right To The Edge
Still you swear with
me,
you could bare your soul like it’s never been naked
Well, I’d like to try to love you
but I don’t think my heart could take it
Tell me, did you ever make love when it wasn’t a sin?
I’d like to tie a rope around you just to reel you back in
chorus
And I know the company you keep, the allegiances you pledge
You flirt with the devil, share the sacrilege
You climb a skyscraper just to dance out on the ledge
And if the world was flat; you’d go Right To The Edge
