I'm on the edge

I don't know how it began

I feel the ghost of a dozen other men

I know the way you want it

I know which way you run, oh

I'm on the fence

I don't know which way to bend with you

And I can't understand

How you wait for something you love

And I won't take a chance

I would rather be on my own than with you

No, the way that you speak to me

Like nothing could ever be understood

No, the way that you move around

Slithering on the ground

You shake over and over

And in my head

You're like a song that I could never identify

And all along you play in continuous repeat

You're like a problem I could never rectify

And I can't understand

How you wait for something you love

And I won't take a chance

I would rather be on my own than with you
