You went off the river
Smokestacks fade to black
This town's my own, ridden free and alone
And I'm looking back
Maybe I know some people
Maybe I break some rules
But this is the street, I gotta compete
Baby, I ain't no fool
So I take a little bet with the good
Ain't just black and white
You gotta deal with the real
Ooh, living on the edge of the night
ย
Every wild desire
Beats comes from the dark
I'm in my bed but I can't rest my head
While I still swim with sharks
Everyone needs something
Sometimes they don't know why
Too much good's been misunderstood
In the blink of an eye
So I take a little bet with the good
Ain't just black and white
You gotta deal with the real
Ooh, living on the edge of the night
ย
You say that you don't like it
Maybe it's just my lies
So you lie yours and I'll keep mine
Rolling like a wheel through the city on the edge of the night
And when that black rain's down
In this cold, grey town, I'll be waiting
Waiting at the edge of the night
Ooh, living on the edge of the night
Ooh, living on the edge of the night
