| Lyrics: | I saw the canopies, beneath the buildings discreet
The hour's late and not a soul on the
street,
As I stood alone there, at the edge of the night.
With all your wisdom, you had
gone to bed early
I hesitated and just think what it cost me
Just like a victim in the
sights it doesn't feel right
At the edge of the night.
I had the backbone but
then, I heard it cracking.
I faced the terror but I found myself lacking
What good is
courage here, at the edge of the night.
At the edge of the night.
There was this
man,
Gun in his hand,
That wanted to waste me
My mouth became dry,
I reached for the
sky,
The sight seemed to freeze me
He said he'd been a hero,
Now he'd fallen down to
zero
Ain't it a crime
Whooo
I handed over all I had on my person
My Bank
America card and this was my first one
Then he just stepped right out of sight, at the edge of
the night
At the edge of the night. |
