Livin' on the edge of night
Livin on the edge of the nightYou went off the riverSmoke stacks fade to blindThis town's my own, ridin'free and aloneAnd I'm looking backMaybe I know some peopleMaybe I break some rulesBut this is the street, I've got to competeBaby, I ain't no fool
*So I take a little bad with the goodIt ain't just black and white(It still ain't black and white)You've got to deal with the realWoo, living on the edge of the night
Every wild desireBeckons from the darkI've made my bed but I can't risk my headWhile I still swim with sharksEveryone needs somethingSometimes they don't know whyBut so much good's been misunderstoodIn the blink of the eye
(Repeat *)
You say that you don't like itOr maybe it's just my lifeSo you live yours and I'll keep mineRolling like a wheel through the cityLiving on the edge of the nightAnd when the black rain's downIn this cold gray townI'll be waitingWaiting at the edge of the nightWoo, living on the edge of the nightWoo, living on the edge of the night
