lyrics

ONCE WE GET TO THE EDGE OF TOWN

The clouds are heavy, the smog is thick
I can hardly breathe, I'm tired and sick
Feel like I'm gonna drown
But once we get to the edge of town...

Something crawls upon my skin
The ceiling's low, the walls are thin
Is it London Bridge is falling down?
Once we get to the edge of town...

Sound of thunder, marching feet
Gods and generals in the street
Hold your breath for another round
Once we get to the edge of town...

Leave the lion in the den
A greedy friend is not a friend
That's the last fair deal gone down
Oh once we get to the edge of town...

An hour and a half across the mall
How do you get across them all?
Across the bridge is where I'm bound
Once we get to the edge of town...

The clouds are heavy, the smog is thick
I can hardly breathe, I'm tired and sick
Feel like I'm gonna drown
Once we get to the edge of town...
