Spend forever tryin' to figure it out
Tryin' to find an escape
Working every little hustle you can to try
Get an even rate
You believe in all the promises
Where are you now?
You're just livin' on the knife edge
Oh, it somehow don't seem right
It's a high wire act on the rough time
Survival through the night
Spend whatever little money you have
Just stayin' alive
Buy the key that unlocks the door, you do
More than survive
But you listen to all the promises (promises)
Where are you now?
You're just livin' on the knife edge
Oh, it somehow don't seem right
It's a high wire act on the rough time
Survival through the night
Now, nobody said life was gonna be easy
And nobody said it was fair
I only know there's just one answer
Just put the wind, put the wind in our hair
You believe in all the promises
Where are you now?
You're just livin' on the knife edge
Oh, it somehow don't seem right
It's a high wire act on the rough time
Survival through the night
Survival through the night
Survival through the night
Survival
Survival through the night
Survival through the night
Survival
