Joseph was a good man though he killed his wife |
|
His hungry little children, he took their lives |
|
This was the end of a desperate man |
|
With only love in his eyes, no evil hands. |
|
He was standing at the sky's edge |
|
And out there who knows what he's thinking, |
|
He was sliding down the razor's edge |
|
And watched his life slowly sinking, |
|
Away, away. |
|
Mary was a troubled girl, she stole to eat |
|
She had to sell her body to put shoes on her feet |
|
Stole a car and tried to get away |
|
Now all she hears is the rain on the roof |
|
At sky's edge jail. |
|
She was standing at the sky's edge |
|
And out there who knows what she's thinking |
|
She was sliding down the razor's edge |
|
And watched her life slowly sinking. |
|
Away, away. |
|
They were standing at the sky's edge, |
|
And out there who knows what they're thinking. |
|
They were sliding down the razor's edge |
|
And watched their lives slowly sinking, |
|
Away, away, away, away, away. |
|
Jacob was misguided, he carried a blade, |
|
So much fear in the city it carried him away. |
|
Young men were fighting and loosing their lives |
|
At night as the screech howls in the trees watch |
|
Young men die. |
|
They were standing at the sky's edge, |
|
And out there who knows what they're thinking. |
|
They were sliding down the razor's edge, |
|
And watched their lives slowly sinking, |
|
They were standing at the sky's edge, |
|
And out there there's dangerous thinking, |
|
They were standing at the mirror's edge, |
|
And watched their lives slowly sinking, |
|
Away, away, away, away, away. |
