Edge Of Emergency

We're standing on the edge of emergency
Staring at the face of it
Standing on the edge of emergency
Flirting with the face of it
And we have always had it all
We must embrace the crucible
And no one wants to be here when we fall

We’re standing on the edge, ready for the after-glow
Standing on the edge, ready to be overthrown
Standin on the edge of all we know

We're standing on the edge of emergency
Staring at the face of it
Standing on the edge of emergency
Flirting with the face of it
And we've enchanted half of you
Thought we could phone it in its true
And no-one wants to tell us what to do

There is a thread of ocean within you
In it you'll find solutions to our battle wounds
Sometimes your sighs are cigarettes
And sometimes your tears are gin
Sometimes the sea will carry you straight home again
When we’ve taken our fall we can begin

Standing on the edge, ready for the after-glow
Standing on the edge, ready to be overthrown
Standing on the edge of a a all we know
