Close to the Edge - John Illsley, Guy Fletcher, Simon Johnson

Getting close to the edge hanging by a silver thread

You tried to climb a mountain.

Now you’re climbing walls instead

Getting close to the edge hanging by a silver thread

Is it best to toe the line or go where Angels fear to tread

Broken stones and broken bones

Broken hearts and broken homes

Nothing left except your pride

When all this energy collides

Getting close to the edge

Hanging by a silver thread

You tried to climb a mountain

Now you’re climbing walls instead

Heard some rumours of the future

Better make sense of today

No one wants to be a martyr

When there’s other games to play

Getting close to the edge

Hanging by a silver thread

Is it best to toe the line

Or go where angels fear to tread

Can’t get angry with the angels

They’re so difficult to find

There’s a club they call heaven

But your credit card’s declined

Getting close to the edge

Hanging by a silver thread

You tried to climb a mountain

Now you’re climbing walls instead
