It's Your Turn

Up here on the ledge

I'm getting pushed to the edge

People line up behind me to step into my shoes

Up here in the precipice

I'm getting close to my nemesis

People fighting each other to jump into my blues

There's a young kid inside me somewhere

He stays up all night, a vampire that never dies

With the blood and the moon in his eyes

I hear his voice when I'm comin' down

Sleep is for fools, whe never see the sunrise

Who never get to live twice

I was a face in a magazine

When you were still playin' with your plasticine

Now you're doggin' my tail, ridin' the slipstream

You can take the fans and the enemies

The little girls who squeeze and tease

Then pass on their social disease

Go get your penicillin

I know you young and dumb

I know where you're comin' from

Don't know where you're goin' to

But I bin there same as you

You're running out of ideas

And new hats to try on

I know you middle age

Same song, different page

I know what you're goin' through

Made the same mistakes as you

All you want is some hope

And a shoulder to cry on

There's a stranger inside me somewhere

That shadow behind me, don't even look like me

An echoed apology

He's a wolf in sheep disguise

I wake up in places I don't even recognize

Pretender in paradise

It's your turn, step up and take it

If you've got the guts to hang on

You can make

C'mon, c'mon, come on

Ooooh take it!
