lyrics

WALKING OFF THE EDGE OF THE EARTH
(for Tom Petty)

i’m walking
off the edge
of the earth
n i wonder
where i’ll land
will there be friends
smiling up at me
r will there be just
rocks n sand

i fight
for the Light
to cut thru
the dark
maybe im weak
just like you

i’m walking
off the edge
of the earth
n i wonder
where i’ll land
will there be friends
smiling up at me
r will there be just
rocks n sand

the edge
of the earth
like the blade
of a knife
draws blood
n moths
to the flame

(solo)

i can’t do this
alone
nobody can
so i shall leap
w the guys
in my band
into
nomad land

(solo)

i’m walking
off the edge
of the earth
n i wonder
where i’ll land
will there be friends
smiling up at me
r will there be just
rocks n sand
