Man on the Edge Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The freeway is jammed, and it's backed up for miles
The car is an oven and baking is wild
Nothing is ever the way it should be
What we deserve, we just don't get, you see

[Pre-Chorus 1]
A briefcase, a lunch, and a man on the edge
Each step gets closer to losing his head
Is someone in heaven? Are they looking down?
'Cause nothing is fair, just you look around

[Chorus]
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down

[Verse 2]
He's sick of waiting, of lying like this
There's a hole in the sky for the angels to kiss
Branded a leper because you don't fit
In the land of the free, you just live by your wits

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Once, he built missiles, a nation's defense
Now he can't even give birthday presents
Across the city, he leaves in his wake
A glimpse of the future: a cannibal state

[Chorus]
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]
The freeway is jammed, and it's backed up for miles
The car is an oven and baking is wild
Nothing is ever the way it should be
What we deserve, we just don't get, you see

[Pre-Chorus 1]
A briefcase, a lunch, and a man on the edge
Each step gets closer to losing his head
Is someone in heaven? Are they looking down?
'Cause nothing is fair, just you look around

[Chorus]
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down

[Outro]
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
