[Verse 1]
Shot rings out, hear somebody scream
Nightmare, caught up in a fantasy
Tied up, fear's working overtime
Wrecks my sanity
Lay down, ear touched the floor
Telephone rings, it's someone at the door
It's alright, just the paperboy

[Chorus]
Can't you see I'm right on the edge
On the verge of going crazy
My whole life's been living right on the edge
Don't you try and stop me

[Verse 2]
Lights out, can't see a damn thing

Busted, running in the dead of night
Locked up, back of a black and white

[Chorus]
Can't you see I'm right on the edge
On the verge of going crazy
My whole life's been living right on the edge
Don't you try and stop me
Life is driving me insane
(Right on the edge)
(Right on the edge)
(Right on the edge) I'm not crazy
(Right on the edge)
(Right on the edge)
(Right on the edge)
(Right on the edge)
