"Clinging To The Ledge" lyrics
"Clinging To The Ledge"
She says "it's easy to die"
He says "it's easier to talk about it"
She says "don't you give me no jive"
He says "there's nothing left to give
Don't doubt it"
Our palms are easily read
No words of comfort were said
Our minds wandered away
And our feet provided the clay
And our backs have a bad atti-hue
And our days we rue, rue, rue, rue, rue
Too late to beg, it's all been said
There's nothing left but broken hearts and heads
We failed that test, destroyed the best
We grew to be less, we grew to be less
We grew to be less, we grew to be less
And now we're clinging to the oh-oh
We're clinging to the o-o-oh-o-oh
We're clinging to the o-o-o-o-oh
We're clinging to the ledge
She says "we don't live
We don't live, we don't live
We just park somewhere"
He says "we don't give
We don't give, we don't give
We just left our hearts somewhere"
She fakes, night after night
He's on the tape, so that's alright
Eyes tight, shut, babies, over their ears
Blind, deaf, dumb to the waterfall tears
Our palms are easily read
No words of comfort were said
Our minds wandered away
And our feet provided the clay
And our backs have a bad atti-hue
And our days we rue, rue, rue, rue, rue
Too late to beg, it's all been said
There's nothing left but broken hearts and heads
We failed that test, destroyed the best
We grew to be less, we grew to be less
We grew to be less, we grew to be less
And now we're clinging to the oh-oh
We're clinging to the o-o-oh-o-oh
We're clinging to the o-o-o-o-oh
Clinging to the ledge
The dotted line doesn't get in our hair
We just sign our names in the air
We're clinging to the oo-oh-oh
We're clinging to the oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Clinging to the ledge
She says "you've nothing to say"
He says, "perhaps we shouldn't talk about it"
She says "I'm leaving today"
He says "I've had a lot on my mind"
She says "I doubt it"
Our palms are easily read
No words of comfort were said
Our minds wandered away
And our feet provided the clay
And our backs have a bad atti-hue
And our days we rue, rue, rue, rue, rue
Too late to beg, it's all been said
There's nothing left but broken hearts and heads
We failed that test, destroyed the best
We grew to be less, we grew to be less
We grew to be less, we grew to be less
And now we're clinging to the oh-oh
We're clinging to the o-o-oh-o-oh
We're clinging to the o-o-o-o-oh
We're clinging to the oh-oh
We're clinging to the o-o-oh-o-oh
We're clinging to the o-o-o-o-oh
Clinging to the ledge
She says "it's easy to die"
He says "it's easier to talk about it"

And I hope she will take me back

And if she's...
