edge of town

words ) David Young 1998

On the edge of town, in the land
Of windows and art shops and low sperm counts
I hesitate for a moment and we all face the ground...
on the edge of town.

Out here in the back of a taxi cab
Or with the wind rushing through my hair
The sunlight slips beneath the waves tonight, she waves goodnight...
on the edge of town.
On the edge of town (rpt.)

On the edge of town in the summertime, on the edge of town in the summertime,
on the edge of town in the summertime (rpt.)

I'm going down to the edge of town the sun is shining above me now (rpt.)
Shining above me now, shining above me...

On the edge of town, in the land
Of checkouts and Playboy a crazy old man
Distracts the innocent passersby from the dead girl in the road
While the policeman stands by, he says I'm standing by
On the edge...
On the edge of town.
