Standing on the Edge Songtext

von Cheap Trick

In the middle of the night
I had a vision
It was bigger than life
Standing on the edge of my bed
She said "Come here, don't be afraid"
Her tongue opened like a shot
Oh bang bang
Ten feet tall, laser eyes
Killer body, killer thighs
She drew me a fine line
What's wrong what's right
I didn't know what to think
She seemed to know what to drink
I was stunned by her gun
Couldn't walk, couldn't run
Well she drew me a picture
And it seemed so true
Standing on the edge
And watching my life flash by
Standing on the edge
She's lookin' right through my eyes
Love is passin' by
Right before my eyes
And I'm wondering why
What's the reason
That I'm standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Right here in my face
I had a vision
That was bigger than life
Oh Connie likes nighttime, every night
Connie likes candy, every bite
All day sucker, Connie might
Swallow that thing 'cause she does it right
I'm weak in the knees
I'm beggin' you please
Just ask for more
She just wants affection
My soldier's at attention
No I don't know
Why you're doin this to me
Standing on the edge
And watching my life flash by
Standing on the edge
She's lookin' right through my eyes
Love is passin' by
Right before my eyes
And I'm wondering why
What's the reason
That I'm standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Well she told me
In the Biblical sense
And she told me
In the strictest confidence
She told me
We were worlds apart
She told me, she told me
I don't know why I'm here
She said, "Don't be afraid"
Standing on the edge
And watching my life flash by
Standing on the edge
You're lookin' right through my eyes
Standing on the edge
Light flashes before my eyes
Standing on the edge
And watchin' my world crash by
Love is passing by
Right before my eyes
And I wonder why
What's the reason
That I'm standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
I'm standing on the edge (Repeat and fade)
