I'm living on the edge of this life,
Looking out like a pensive seagull
On the Cliffs of Dover,
The pristine white edge of my life.
Looking at the people below play house
And play job
And play love
And play smart
While I pretend to be what you tell me to be.
I smoke light cigarettes
Alone on the bridge
And blow smoke up the trees.
I'm on the edge,
The sharp edge
And I yearn for trouble.
I want turbulence,
I want ****
I want earthquake,
I want for the earth to shake,
And I want nuclear fallout.
The badder the better
Is what I always say.
At least as of late.

I'm living on the edge of this life,
Looking out like a pensive seagull
On the Cliffs of Dover,
The pristine white edge of my life.
Looking at the people below play house
And play job
And play love
And play smart
While I pretend to be what you tell me to be.
I smoke light cigarettes
Alone on the bridge
And blow smoke up the trees.
I'm on the edge,
The sharp edge
And I yearn for trouble.
I want turbulence,
I want ****
I want earthquake,
I want for the earth to shake,
And I want nuclear fallout.
The badder the better
Is what I always say.
At least as of late.
