lyrics

★ MAN ON A LEDGE ★

HIS COMPANY WENT BADLY
SADLY BELLY-UP BROKE BUST BANKRUPT
OUT OF BUSINESS TOOK A HIT
A SLOW DOWNWARD SPIRAL TO DESOLATION ROW

AND DRIVEN TO THE EDGE THE MAN ON A LEDGE
WANTS TO CRY OUT LOUD
AS THE CROWD BELOW GOES
JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP

CIRCLING VULTURES WAITING FOR A KILL
VAMPIRES LOOKING FOR THE FIRST DROP
OF BLOOD TO SPILL
SAFETY IN NUMBERS THEY WON'T STOP

AND DRIVEN TO THE EDGE THE MAN ON A LEDGE
HE WANTS TO CRY OUT LOUD
AS THE CROWD BELOW GOES
JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP

WHAT BROUGHT HIM TO THIS
A VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE THE ECONOMY
WAS IT GREED OR ANOTHER NEED
MADE HIM TAKE THE FIRST WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY

WHO'S TO BLAME
HOW EVER DID HE ARRIVE HERE
WILL HE WON'T HE WE CAN ONLY WAIT
THE FUTURE'S SO FAR AND YET SO NEAR

AND DRIVEN TO THE EDGE THE MAN ON A LEDGE
WANTS TO CRY OUT LOUD
WHILE THE CROWD BELOW GOES
JUMP JUMP JUMP

AND DRIVEN TO THE EDGE THE MAN ON A LEDGE
WANTS TO CRY OUT LOUD
THE CROWD BELOW SALIVATES AND GOES
JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP
