 You went off the river

 Smoke stacks fade to blind

 This town's my own, ridin'free and alone

 And I'm looking back

 Maybe I know some people

 Maybe I break some rules

 But this is the street, I've got to compete

Baby, I ain't no fool

 *So I take a little bad with the good

It ain't just black and white

(It still ain't black and white)

You've got to deal with the real

 Woo, living on the edge of the night

Every wild desire

 Beckons from the dark

 I've made my bed but I can't risk my head

 While I still swim with sharks

Everyone needs something

 Sometimes they don't know why

 But so much good's been misunderstood

In the blink of the eye

(Repeat *)

You say that you don't like it

 Or maybe it's just my life

 So you live yours and I'll keep mine

 Rolling like a wheel through the city on the edge of the night

 And when the black rain's down

 In this cold grey town

 I'll be waiting

 Waiting at the edge of the night

 Woo, living on the edge of the night

 Woo, living on the edge of the night
