There`s an open door Callin` to me I just can`t ignore Wakin` up I realize Bars of steel to keep me inside
Justice has done me wrong Guilty for crime Will age me so long Understand that it`s more than too late Where`s the lucky dog Who used me for the bait
I`m falling over the edge
Yeah, i guess he was pretty smart Left me in the street with my gun in the dark Murder, well i tried to prevent Instead up the river is how my time is spent
I think i`m over the edge I`ve been doin` time Tired of doin` time Over the edge
I can`t take more of this cell So don`t be alarmed When you hear this prisoner yell
Far away Far away Never too far away From the truth
But where`s the fairness What`s a harmless man to do But see it through Though i`m trapped in this death bringing doom Words of hope There ain`t no place For this forgotten face I take my chances
Now i know i`m over the edge Over the edge Get me out Get me out Over the edge I`m tired Over the edge
