Man on the Edge

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 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 Falling down (x6) 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 Once he built missiles, a nation's defence Now he can't even give birthday presents Across the city he leaves in his wake A glimpse of the future, a cannibal state (Bayley · Gers)

I've looked into the heart of darkness Where the blood red journey ends When you've faced the heart of darkness Even your soul begins begins to bend For a week I have been waiting Still I am only in saigon The walls moves in a little closer I feel the jungle call me on Every minute I get weaker While in the jungle they grow strong What I wanted was a mission And for my sins they gave me one They brought up just like room service 'Cause everyone gets what they want And when that mission was all over I'd never want another one I know, captain, that you've done this work before We've got a problem you can help us all I'm sure The colonel's gone rogue and his methods are unsound You'll take a PBR up river track, him drown There's a conflict in every human heart And the temptation is to take it all too far In this war things get so confused But there are some things which cannot be excused He's acting like a god - an insane lunatic Your mission - terminate with extreme prejudice The route is dangerous and your progress may be slow Here is the file and it's all you need to know Here I am the knife in my hand And now I understand why the genius must die Now I stand alone in the darkness With his blood upon my hands Where sat the warrior the poet Now lie the fragments of a man (Harris · Bayley · Gers)
