Rick Springfield - Walking on the edge

Keep on, keep on, whispering in the night There's no problem if it's not in sight In the face of annihilation We still plan futures for the children Keep on whispering in the night People talk but it's just "cocktail chatter" What we say, anyway, doesn't really matter Everybody, time is tight We're walking on the edge Of the long black night From the left and from the right They're walking on the edge Of the long black night And waiting on the big bang Wake up, wake up, yes this is your life too The light of spirit also burns in you In the face of extermination We still plan future for the children Get up, yes this is your life too We talk and talk and shake our heads in wonder Nothing that we can do Can stop us from going under Everybody, time is tight We're walking on the edge Of the long black night From the left and from the right They're walking on the edge Of the long black night And waiting on the big bang I sit here and contemplate my future And all the songs that we all sing Don't really do a thing Everybody, time is tight We're walking on the edge Of the long black night From the left and from the right They're walking on the edge Of the long black night And waiting on the big bang
