Array ( [sid] => 66124 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Livin' On The Edge (On The Edge Of Life) [time] => 2004-10-04 21:01:16 [hometext] => This is a rather long one I know... What inspired me to write of such...? Just look around u... Sex, drugs, rock and roll, suicide... It's in the movies, on TV, in magazines, in newspapers... it's all around u!! The innocence of life are gone... [bodytext] => Livin' on the edge... on the edge of life
Is a dangerous place to be
Dangerous curves lie up ahead of me
And the warnin' signs I pay no heed
This may cost me my life indeed

Stealin' hearts is what I do best
Babe, you've passed the love test
I've got my eye on you
I'm racin' in your direction
Help me find the key to unlock this love's connection

Fast cars... fast life is what I like
And in fast dreams... danger looms right outside for me
But I'm rockin' through the night
Just tryin' to outrun all the phantoms of my life
Like a wild spirit runnin' free
Livin' on the edge... on the edge of life is for me
What a life's travesty?

There's no restrainin' me
There's no refrainin' me from livin' on the edge
'Cause it seems to be the only thing
That keeps me feelin' alive and runnin' free
Like a drifter movin' from town to town
I'm driftin' in and out of other's lives
Like a shadow at midnight
Livin' on the edge... on the edge of life

I'm a loner... livin' out on the edge
Livin' free and independently
I'm a wild spirit who needs no one
I'm just livin' on the edge of the freedom of my heart and soul
Livin' on the edge of outta control
Where it will take me...? I don't know
To Hell... I guess... if I don't change my ways
Only Heaven knows for sure
Just countin' the days... through my life's smoke and haze

One day maybe I'll wake up from this wild, hard ride
That's gettin' me nowhere... nowhere in time
Self- destruction is on the horizon of my mind
'Cause I'm livin' on the edge... on the edge of life
Out in the middle of nowhere... in a danger zone
Where no man should ever wander or go
'Cause once- in- awhile this life gets you so messed up... so crazy
You find yourself hangin' on a ledge... ready to make that final leap

Livin' on the edge... on the edge of life
Why do we do this to ourselves?
Why do we hurt our heart and souls?
And those who love us so?
It's like a death wish we have...
Flirtin' with danger with each and every step
Only Heaven knows...
Why we sometimes live on the edge... the edge of outta control
