1. LIVIN'ON THE EDGE

There's something wrong with the world today
I don't know what it is
Something's wrong with our eyes

We're seeing things in a different way
And god knows it ain't his
It sure ain't no surprise

(Ya!)
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge

There's something wrong with the world today
The lightbulb's gettin' dimmed
There's meltdown in the sky

If you can judge a wise man
By the color of his skin
Then mister, you're a better man than I

We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge

Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'

Tell me what you think about our situation
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it wasn't would you still come crawling
Back again - I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again & again

Tell me what you think about our situation
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it wasn't would you still come crawling
Back again - I bet you would my friend
Again and again and again and again

Something right with the world today
And everybody knows it's wrong
But we can tell 'em no
Or we could let it go
But I would rather be a hanging on

We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge


2. DON'T STOP

Remember when somebody tried to tell you how to walk
And now they got the balls to tell us how we should talk
Oh no, glove love ain't cool, I must agree
So get outta my face, you ain't got nothin' on me

Some say they do, some say they don't, I take it in stride
And I can never get enough if I don't got to swallow my pride
I heard it all before and then she told me, gimme some slack
Then she smiled at me and gave me the shirt right off her back
(And that's when I took advantage of the situation)

Don't stop
Rockin' your socks off
Don't stop
Knockin' their blocks off
Don't stop
Gettin' your rocks off
Don't stop
Takin' a hit, boy
Don't stop
Shakin' your fist, boy
Don't stop
I ain't got much to lose
I'm feelin' so confused

There's such a small thin line between pleasure and pain
And when you say don't, then it's don't stop, I got to complain
(Yeah) I think I may be gettin' real tired of all the steam
Because it's hard to get the way you move out of my dreams
(Got to get it while you can)

Whenever you're in doubt, you got to whip it out
When you keep hearin' no and your body says yes
But you can't hear a word that's been said
But you gotta confess lookin' up her address
Got you thinkin' with your other head


3. FLESH

The day rolls in, the night rolls out
Desire rules without a doubt
The heart beats fast, you salivate
And when you come it won't be late
I guess by now you got the score
A little taste you want it more
From San Antonio to Marrakesh
Yeah when the night comes
Every body's gotta have FLESH
You got me all soakin' wet
Flesh - the only thing that's worth the sweat
From the day that Eve did Adam
Down to Romeo and Juliette
Everybody gotta have...

The prince of lust has met his match
The witch has brewed her baddest batch
His sword is sharp and hard as stone
Her cauldron begs for one more bone
And so my love, this story's told
From modern times to days of old
From Boston Mass to Bangladesh
Yeah, when the night comes
Everybody's gotta have FLESH
It's got me all soakin' wet
Flesh - the only thing that's worth the sweat, yeah
From the Mississippi River
To the highest mountain in Tibet
Everybody gotta have...

Flesh - you got me all soakin' wet
Flesh - the only thing that's worth the sweat
Flesh - you got me all soakin' wet
Flesh - the only thing, the only thing, the only thing
From a suvie in a Rickshaw to a bimbo in a pink Corvette
Everybody gotta have...

3. CAN'T STOP MESSIN' (LP VERSION)

Sittin' at a stop sign
Lookin' for a friend of mine
Waitin' to salute the flag
Talkin' to some he/she
Slidin' over next to me
Man, she said, this life is a drag
It's a shaky situation
And I'm hangin' on my will
And I get no satisfaction
From a hundred dollar bill
But I got what I came for
And I'll do it 'til I drop
You do what you want to do
I ain't never gonna stop
You say you got somethin' that makes you feel good
And you can't stop messin' with it
All your life you've been so misunderstood
'Cause you can't stop messin' with it
Sittin' by the seashore
Dreamin' 'bout a little more
Circlin' the classifieds
Nine seven six
Man I need another fix
I'll never have to kiss the bride
Yeah, the city is a war zone
This country gone to hell
And the beer cans in the alley
From the rich folks on the hill
They're screamin' hallelujah
But I don't give a damn
'Cause I got my own religion
Yeah, it's right here in my hand
