Knife Edge

G.B.H. · Race Against Time: Clay Years [2007]

On the streets they're after me,

Won't let me go, won't let me be.

This opression is screwing my head,

If I ain't careful I'll end up dead.



I'm living my life,

I'm living my life,

I'm living my life,

On the edge of a knife...



Loving her was the mistake I made,

Defending her honour with a steel blade.

Three on to one just isn't fair

But now they're in intensive care.



I'm living my life,

I'm living my life,

I'm living my life,

On the edge of a knife...



I'm living my life,

I'm living my life,

I'm living my life,

On the edge of a knife...



So now I'm running all over the world,

All because of a stupid girl.

But I've gotta carry on, I've gotta be brave,

Else I'll end up in my grave.



I'm living my life,

I'm living my life,

I'm living my life,

On the edge of a knife...
