Rain on the windscreen makes a rhythm
 Line up the centre leads the way
 The music plays but I don't listen
 I don't want to hear the things they say
 Cold and sharper than a knife
 'This is for the best', I said
 But lord help me I'm mystified
 It seems I got the cutting edge
 And I'd swear there's nothing in it
 Still the wheels keep turning round
 Like some old persistent spirit
 This one will take some driving out
 Cold and sharper than a knife
 'This is for the best', I said
 Lord help me I'm mystified
 It seems I got the cutting edge
 So much for this heart of stone
 Now it turns out to be lead
 The strangest thing I've ever known
 It seems I got the cutting edge
 Cold and sharper than a knife
 'This is for the best', I said
 Lord help me I'm mystified
 It seems I got the cutting edge
