Artist/Band: Johnny Hallyday
Lyrics for Song: On The Edge Of The Edge (Signes Extérieurs De Richesse)
Lyrics for Album: Johnny En V.O. [1984]



(Pierre Billon/Éric Bouad/Claude Jacques Raoul Lemesle/

Jean-Philippe Smet) adaptation anglaise E. A. Russell/Stephen Stapley



Some people live for future taste

And they never wonder why

I can't afford to be afraid

Cause there's nowhere I can hide



I know there is a price to pay

I know that it's the risk I take

At least I know that I'm alive

When I'm fighting to survive



Out on the edge I can't forget

Out on the edge with no regrets

Hanging on by silver thread

I live my life on the edge of the edge



When the pressure turns me on

I kick in to overdrive

It bears time before I'm gone

I'm gonna find out why



I know there is a price to pay

I know that it's the risk I take

At least I know that I'm alive

When I'm fighting to survive



Out on the edge I can't forget

Out on the edge with no regrets

Hanging on by silver thread

I live my life on the edge of the edge



Well don't tell me I don't understand

It's never black and white

You tell me I should have a plan

Well I only have tonight



I know there is a price to pay

I know that it's the risk I take

At least I know that I'm alive

When I'm fighting to survive



Out on the edge I can't forget

Out on the edge with no regrets

Hanging on by silver thread

I live my life on the edge of the edge.
