《Over the Edge》歌词

[00:00:18] Everybody is a victim of society

[00:00:22] Comedy tragedy vaudeville and variety

[00:00:26] Pantomime players in the grand tradition

[00:00:31] Winners and losers till the intermission

[00:00:39] Girl I know the world's a stage

[00:00:40] That's what the poet said

[00:00:42] But I think our weird relationship

[00:00:45] Is way above my head

[00:00:47] I'll be your Casanova whipping by

[00:00:49] If that's what you desire

[00:00:51] But once I start performing

[00:00:52] I can't easily retire

[00:00:55] I'll swing on a trapeze

[00:00:57] I'll jump through hoops and I'll eat fire

[00:01:00] Be a human cannon ball

[00:01:02] And walk on the high wire

[00:01:04] Put on make-up wear a wig

[00:01:06] I'll be your tragic clown

[00:01:08] But once you've got me up there

[00:01:10] I can't easily come down

[00:01:13] Don't drive me over the edge of it

[00:01:18] Can't you see I've got mixed-up emotions

[00:01:22] Joined the crowd just to be part of it

[00:01:26] That was the start of it

[00:01:28] Oh now I'm over the edge

[00:01:33] Don't drive me over the edge of it

[00:01:37] Oh over the edge

[00:01:45] The world is turning upside-down

[00:01:46] Civilization's dead over the edge

[00:01:49] Economic turmoil now the world is in the red

[00:01:53] Democracy's a shadow of its former glory

[00:01:58] Law and orders broken-down

[00:02:00] End of story

[00:02:11] My next door neighbour's totally snapped

[00:02:12] He's gone over the edge

[00:02:14] He's putting up barbed wire barricades

[00:02:17] Around the garden hedge

[00:02:19] And planting land mines on the lawn

[00:02:21] He's gone barmy

[00:02:23] According to his wife he's formed a secret army

[00:02:28] Ever since he got laid off

[00:02:30] Something inside snapped

[00:02:33] His wife says he's gone 'round the twist

[00:02:34] Now there's no turning back

[00:02:36] All night he waits in the garden shed

[00:02:38] For the enemy to attack

[00:02:40] A suburban vigilante

[00:02:41] Dressed up in a union jack

[00:02:44] He's over the edge oh over the edge

[00:02:54] Don't drive me over the edge of it

[00:03:02] Woman you are gonna drive me

[00:03:04] Totally over the edge

[00:03:06] Is it yes or is it no

[00:03:08] Are you gonna take the pledge

[00:03:10] The pressures of society are getting to your brain

[00:03:15] And forced you to act weird

[00:03:17] And put me under all this strain

[00:03:19] But don't drive me over the edge of it

[00:03:24] Stop while I've still got emotions

[00:03:28] Joined the crowd just to be part of it

[00:03:32] That was the start of it

[00:03:34] Oh over the edge

[00:03:39] Don't drive me over the edge of it

[00:03:43] Oh over the edge

[00:03:48] Don't drive me over the edge of it

[00:03:52] Everybody is a victim of society

[00:03:55] Comedy tragedy

[00:03:57] Vaudeville variety

[00:04:00] Pantomime players in the grand tradition

[00:04:04] Forced into roles that leave them totally driven

[00:04:11] Right over the edge
