Ill wind off the river
Smoke stacks fade to black
This town´s my own, ridin´free and alone
And I´m not 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
You´ve got to deal with the real
Oh, living on the edge of the night

Every wild desire
Beckons from the dark
I´ve made my bed but I can´t rest 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

*So I take a little bad with the good
It still ain´t black and white
You´ve got to deal with the real
Oh, living on the edge of the night

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 rains down
On this cold gray town
I´ll be waiting
Waiting at the edge of the night
Oh, living on the edge of the night
Oh, living on the edge of the night
