Lyrics
:
Memories come flooding back The bitter pain of disappointment Of once of having love but now I only feel loss I'M LIVING ON A KNIFEDGE AT THE END OF THE LINE I'M TAKING ALL THE HARD SELL I'M LOOKING FOR A LIFE LINE Right now Hey now now Oh oh oh Let the bells ring out When you ain't got no-one in this world It makes you feel useless It gives you nothing to live for nothing to die for oh no no For I'm burning up burning up burning up Such a long way from home I've got it all to give and no-one To give it to That's why I'm looking for you For someone to whom I can prove That I'm not through no no no no I'm alive and that's the truth I'M LIVING ON A KNIFEDGE AT THE END OF THE LINE I'M TAKING ALL THE HARD SELL I'M LOOKING FOR A LIFE LINE ON A KNIFEDGE I'M LOOKING FOR YOU NOW. I'M LOOKING FOR YOU I'm looking for you And the doors of love seem closed No matter how hard I try to kick 'em down It seems to all add up in my mind Just going round and around and around Oh, I'm fired up fired up fired up 'Cause there's nothing I can do to change things I've just gotta sit back and wait for our chance to come That's why I'm looking for you For someone to whom I can prove That I'm not through no no no no I'm alive and I need you too I'M LIVING ON A KNIFEDGE AT THE END OF THE LINE I'M TAKING ALL THE HARD SELL I'M LOOKING FOR A LIFE LINE ON A KNIFEDGE NO NO I'M LOOKING FOR YOU NOW Memories come flooding back The bitter pain of disappointment Of once of having love but now I only feel loss There's such a pointlessness about it all I've gotta force that to the back of my mind And you know, the important thing now Is just I've gotta survive I'M LIVING ON A KNIGEDGE I'M ON THE END OF THE LINE I'M TAKING ALL THE HARD SELL I'M LOOKING FOR A LIFE LINE I'M LIVING ON A KNIFE EDGE I'M LIVING ON THE END OF A LINE I'M TAKING TAKING ALL THE HARD SELL JUST LOOKING FOR THE LIFE LINE ON A KNIFE EDGE OH MY GOD NO I'M LOOKING FOR YOU NOW I'M LIVING ON A KNIFE EDGE
