The Edge Of The World Lyrics - Royal Hunt

I learned how to steal since that day God, who knows? 

Next scene I shoot, cop's dead, boy, is that news? 

The Big House is waiting, you know how it goes 

Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you 

Now I'm in pain, not a man, just a file 

Biting my nails in the dance hall all day 

Edge of the world's down that very last mile 

Where Old Sparky is waitin' to fry me away 

Now I'm standing on the edge of the world 

Waving from the edge of the world 

Look how I'm falling from the edge of the world 

Screaming from the edge of the world, screaming 

Talked to our priest, asked him, "Sell me your God 

Is there reward for being nailed to the cross?" 

Son of a bitch kind of shrieks, then he laughed 

"If you'll make it to heaven, my son 

The pressure is off, all the rest of us" 

Killing is easy, I'm chained to my bed 

State pushed the button and murder's fulfilled 

"It ain't no murder", this old guard just said 

"Good folks get murdered and white trash's just dead" 

And now I'm standing on the edge of the world 

Waving from the edge of the world 

Look how I'm falling from the edge of the world 

Screaming from the edge of the world 

I'm spilling my blood for my sins or so it seems 

Spilling my blood, blood for my sins 

I'm waiting for you to decide on mercy or rage 

Waiting, reaching out from the edge 

Now I'm standing on the edge of the world 

Waving from the edge of the world 

Look how I'm falling from the edge of the world 

Screaming from the edge of the world 

I'm goin' at the edge of the world 

Standing, edge of the world 

The edge of the world 

Waving, edge of the world 

Falling from the edge of the world 

Screaming
