The Knife Edge
Trent Allen / Barry Marler
1990 Cabbage Flake Music (BMI)
So this is our reality
Alone in a crowded sea
Drunk and drinking history
We stand asleep while pages turn
From the book of slash and burn
Waiting for a lesson learned
From the thinest wire, to a ring of fire
We're tumbling
We're stumbling
We balance on the knife edge
And look down from our precious ledge
We'll wait as long as we can
And stand on the knife edge
Then there was not the slightest fear
Afloat on an ocean of tears
We could last a million years
Now there's a ticking clock
A Pandora's Box
Sleeping while the cradle rocks
From the thinest wire, to a ring of fire
We're tumbling
We're stumbling
We balance on the knife edge
And look down from our precious ledge
We'll wait as long as we can
And stand on the knife edge
We balance on the knife edge
And look down from our precious ledge
We'll wait as long as we can
And stand on the knife edge
Stand on the knife edge
