You went off the river Smoke stacks fade to blind This town's my own, ridin'free and alone And I'm looking back Maybe I know some people Maybe I break some rules But this is the street, I've got to compete Baby, I ain't no fool
*So I take a little bad with the good It ain't just black and white (It still ain't black and white) You've got to deal with the real Woo, living on the edge of the night
Every wild desire Beckons from the dark I've made my bed but I can't risk my head While I still swim with sharks Everyone needs something Sometimes they don't know why But so much good's been misunderstood In the blink of the eye
(Repeat *)
You say that you don't like it Or maybe it's just my life So you live yours and I'll keep mine Rolling like a wheel through the city Living on the edge of the night And when the black rain's down In this cold gray town I'll be waiting Waiting at the edge of the night Woo, living on the edge of the night Woo, living on the edge of the night
