Living on the edge of the century
|
|
See the world in revolution
|
Spinning faster all the time
|
We're heading for the end of something
|
Just about to step across that line
|
Oh, can't you see?
|
We're staring in the face of reality
|
Oh, you and me
|
We're living on the edge of the century
|
|
Feel the way the earth is shaking
|
Hear the rumble miles away
|
Say goodby to Checkpoint Charlie
|
Walls are falling every day
|
Oh, can't you see?
|
Every step we take we're making history
|
Oh, you and me
|
We're living on the edge of the century
|
|
[alternate 2nd verse from the 1999 tour]
|
Feel the way the earth is shaking
|
Fires and floods and hurricanes
|
A voice cries out in revelation
|
"Say hello to Y2K!"
|
Oh, can't you see?
|
We're jumpin on the ledge of uncertainty
|
Oh, you and me
|
We're living on the edge of the century
|
|
Can't turn off the information
|
Can't sit back in your easy chair
|
Can't ignore a generation
|
Better get ready cause we're almost there
|
|
We're moving at the speed of life
|
Into a brave new world where the strong will survive
|
The dawn's gonna break and I'll meet you
|
On the other side
|
|
Can't stand still while the earth is turning
|
Can't take cover til the coast is clear
|
Can't play guitar while Rome is burning
|
Look our now cause the future's here
|
|
And we're moving at the speed of life
|
Living on the edge
|
On the edge of the century
