Standing At The Sky's Edge
Joseph was a good man though he killed his wife
His hungry little children, he took their lives
This was the end of a desperate man
With only love in his eyes, no evil hands.
He was standing at the sky's edge
And out there who knows what he's thinking,
He was sliding down the razor's edge
And watched his life slowly sinking,
Away, away.
Mary was a troubled girl, she stole to eat
She had to sell her body to put shoes on her feet
Stole a car and tried to get away
Now all she hears is the rain on the roof
At sky's edge jail.
She was standing at the sky's edge
And out there who knows what she's thinking
She was sliding down the razor's edge
And watched her life slowly sinking.
Away, away.
They were standing at the sky's edge,
And out there who knows what they're thinking.
They were sliding down the razor's edge
And watched their lives slowly sinking,
Away, away, away, away, away.
Jacob was misguided, he carried a blade,
So much fear in the city it carried him away.
Young men were fighting and loosing their lives
At night as the screech howls in the trees watch
Young men die.
They were standing at the sky's edge,
And out there who knows what they're thinking.
They were sliding down the razor's edge,
And watched their lives slowly sinking,
They were standing at the sky's edge,
And out there there's dangerous thinking,
They were standing at the mirror's edge,
And watched their lives slowly sinking,
Away, away, away, away, away.
De pie en el borde del cielo
José era un buen hombre aunque mató a su esposa
Sus niños hambrientos, se quitó la vida
Este fue el fin de un hombre desesperado
Con sólo amor en sus ojos, sin manos malvadas
Estaba parado en el borde del cielo
Y ahí fuera quién sabe lo que está pensando
Se deslizaba por el borde de la navaja
Y vio su vida hundiéndose lentamente
Lejos, lejos
Mary era una chica con problemas, robó para comer
Ella tuvo que vender su cuerpo para poner zapatos en sus pies
Robó un coche y trató de escapar
Ahora todo lo que oye es la lluvia en el techo
En la cárcel del borde del cielo
Ella estaba de pie en el borde del cielo
Y ahí fuera quién sabe lo que está pensando
Ella se deslizaba por el borde de la navaja
Y vio su vida hundiéndose lentamente
Lejos, lejos
Estaban de pie en el borde del cielo
Y ahí fuera quién sabe lo que están pensando
Se deslizaban por el borde de la navaja
Y vieron sus vidas hundiéndose lentamente
Lejos, lejos, lejos, lejos
Jacob estaba equivocado, llevaba una hoja
Tanto miedo en la ciudad que lo llevó lejos
Los jóvenes luchaban y perdían sus vidas
Por la noche mientras el chillido aullaba en los árboles ver
Los jóvenes mueren
Estaban de pie en el borde del cielo
Y ahí fuera quién sabe lo que están pensando
Se deslizaban por el borde de la navaja
Y vieron sus vidas hundiéndose lentamente
Estaban de pie en el borde del cielo
Y ahí afuera hay pensamientos peligroso
Estaban de pie en el borde del espejo
Y vieron sus vidas hundiéndose lentamente
Lejos, lejos, lejos, lejos
