Livin' On The Edge Of The Night - Iggy Pop

LIVIN ON THE EDGE OF THE NIGHT

You went off the river

Smoke stacks fade to blind

This town’s my own, ridin’free and alone

And I’m looking back

Maybe I know some people

Maybe I break some rules

But this is the street, I’ve got to compete

Baby, I ain’t no fool

It ain’t just black and white

(It still ain’t black and white)

You’ve got to deal with the real

Woo, living on the edge of the night

Every wild desire

Beckons from the dark

I’ve made my bed but I can’t risk my head

While I still swim with sharks

Everyone needs something

Sometimes they don’t know why

But so much good’s been misunderstood

In the blink of the eye

(Repeat *)

You say that you don’t like it Or maybe it’s just my life

So you live yours and I’ll keep mine

Rolling like a wheel through the city

Living on the edge of the night

And when the black rain’s down

In this cold gray town

I’ll be waiting

Waiting at the edge of the night

Woo, living on the edge of the night

Woo, living on the edge of the night
