[Pre-Chorus]
I've lived upon
The edge of chance
For twenty years or more
And this is what my friends all mean
[Chorus]
By Del Rio's song
(Oh, Del Rio)
Del Rio's song
(Oh, Del Rio)
Del Rio's song
(Oh, Del Rio)
Del Rio's song
(Oh, Del Rio)
[Post-Chorus]
When time gets slow, and rivers freeze
I think you'd know enough
[Verse 1]
To call in touch that outer frame
The inner gain, a sullen gulch
Which opens up on the way to Blindman's Bluff
A suburb now of River Roads
Where quandary and sublime improve
The sight whose imagery
Is sometimes that of fear
[Pre-Chorus]
I've lived upon
The edge of chance
For twenty years or more
And this is what my friends all mean
[Chorus]
By Del Rio's song
(Oh, Del Rio)
Del Rio's song
(Oh, Del Rio)
Del Rio's song
(Oh, Del Rio)
Del Rio's song
(Oh, Del Rio)
[Post-Chorus]
When time gets slow, and rivers freeze
I think you'd know enough
[Verse 2]
To shut the gates of walled town walls
And putting up some good rum punch
Forget the way to Blindman's Bluff
So packed with eyes
That glow like coals
And pointing toward the North
Oh my boat left New Orleans in 1829
[Brige]
Let’s go
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
My destination’s secret
And the doctrine is soft
But just between the verse and me
It's a place where you can see
Lost, last and luminous
Scored to sky yet never found
Relics of jewels
And ant-track tools
A true ghost dance
Rehearsal Ground
[Pre-Chorus]
I've lived upon
The edge of chance
For twenty years or more
And this is what my friends all mean
Yea ‘cause I've lived upon
The edge of chance
For twenty years or more
And this is what my friends all mean
[Chorus]
By Del Rio's song
(Oh, Del Rio)
Del Rio's song
(Oh, Del Rio)
Del Rio's song
(Oh, Del Rio)
Del Rio's song
(Oh, Del Rio)
