Lyrics
When ya come to the edge
and you don't fall down,
It's a mind-bending
character-splitting crazy thing...
At the edge of the cliff,
and you're wobbling round,
but ya don't fall off and ya stand your ground...
hair-raising!
And,
you're never the same, and you'll always claim,
it was nothing you knew
you could ever live through, but you're breathing...
like you're floating in bed.
You're outside your head.
It's a crazy thing...
hair-raising.
But. You're. Breathing.
