I'll tell a story, paint you a picture from my past I was so happy but joy in this life seldom lasts I had a keeper, he helped me warn the ships at sea
so fine, I want more The conscience says no, all senses yell go There's too much at stake this time The more I deny, the more I commit to this night
God We were head over heels in this love thang Funny ain't it thinkin back, our friends thought it was just a fling I used to call you on the phone, late night
morning, it's possum day I feel like a possum in every way Like a possum Wake up with a possum smile Look at me, look at this smile Like a possum Things
up the sky Or maybe it was not a star at all I was standing by the Hudson River's edge at night Looking out across the Jersey shore At a neon light
my best to win Slow down little one You can't keep running away You mustn't go outside yet It's not your time to play Standing at the edge of your
looks her over more than me But I won't let it get to me Yeah, he can play with his machine Night and day, wind or shine Looks at her shape, not at
the summertime city, ain't it a pity There's so much to tie you down You're leaving tonight to somewhere you can't Be found While down at the edge of town At
mighty sword Vengeance is our own reward Love goes blind one eye at a time Gonna cut away from the ties that bind There's an edge within my voice Helps
knife And she knows it's the death of her, Sarah Sarah, you live and you learn, you're invisible And she's walkin' on the edge of a crowd Late at night
ll be rollin' Drop-tops I'm hittin yo' hot spots I'm top notch My niggaz never listen but I told 'em When I catch you at the game runnin' game at the
day She was feelin' me, I was feelin' her And I couldn't believe what she said She said, cut somethin' she looked at me I looked at her I said, ain'
holla You know you wanna holla Quit actin shawty You know you wanna holla You know you wanna holla You know you wanna holla at me Look at you gurl
you down to the riverside Where the water runs slow and wide, there's a big ol' rock out in the middle And I took my hammer and chisel, and worked all night
they hardly speak at all They've built too many walls And she knows that things aren't right But she never lets it show And she wonders where he goes at night
it's outta spite I like livin' on the edge, tippin' strippers at The Wedge Sippin' spritzers, gettin' head, it's the life we live Play the corners at night
tried to make it wrong Why can't we all just get along? From the start something wasn't right I used to cry myself to sleep at night Told myself stand
money for me to cremate money, I earn it too do this look like work to you? Nah [Chorus] Looking at the lights like is all of this for me? everyone the night
