[Verse 1] Is it just the same When you’re just as lame? You feel less exposed In your trouble-kid pose
[Variation] She fights to breathe, She might just be alright, She slights the scene, She might just be all mine
[Chorus] We take the flak, We turn our backs To the whips, If you can face Endless disgrace, Your will slips Away.
[Verse 2] Let me hear you sing About your diamond rings; Does it soothe your soul When it’s all for show?
[Variation] She fights to breathe, She might just be alright, She slights the scene, She might just be all mine
[Chorus] Get on your ledge, On a knife’s edge, Uncertainty, Issue your threats, Go place your bets On her, then me
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3] Such a supple skin, Nothing left within, And a sensual touch, But it doesn’t mean much
[Variation] See yourself for what you really are
[Chorus] We take the flak, We turn our backs To the whips, If you can face Endless disgrace, Your will slips, Get on your ledge, On a knife’s edge, Uncertainty, Issue your threats, Go place your bets On her, then me.
