Living on the Edge (Original)

[Verse 1] Got your name on a slip In my inside coat Neon on the wet glass But I keep it low You move like a secret Through the hotel hall One hand on the cipher One eye on the wall [Pre-Chorus] Tell me when to run Tell me when to lean I can feel the heat Coming up between The room starts turning The brass lines climb And your pulse says more Than your alibi [Chorus] Living on the edge Living on the edge You and me tonight On the knife, on the line Living on the edge Living on the edge Hold me like a match Till the whole thing shines [Verse 2] Black car idling By the service door I read your face twice Still I want one more You laugh like danger With a velvet bite Slide that little truth Out of dead-of-night [Pre-Chorus] Tell me when to jump Tell me when to break I can hear the drums Underneath the fake The air goes colder The shadows bend And your mouth says stay While your eyes say end [Chorus] Living on the edge Living on the edge You and me tonight On the knife, on the line Living on the edge Living on the edge Hold me like a match Till the whole thing shines [Bridge] Tape hiss in the room Then the world goes thin I see your hand I let you in One wrong move And we disappear But you pull me close So I stay right here [Final Chorus] Living on the edge Living on the edge Say my code, say it soft Like you mean it now Living on the edge Living on the edge If the floor falls out We can learn to fly down
