lyrics

this thing between you and I this (thin) line we cannot cross from stranger to stranger tell me now this distance, how much does it cost? we never consider looking at one another We never consider simply hugging each other though our shadows merge together on the pavement We never meet the other’s eyes except for cash or crash I can see bodies piled-up like cars hands and feet crushed like metal blood spilling like gasoline there must be another way than crashing we never consider talking to each other We never consider considering the other just one look, just one glance, just one blink, just one eye contact no more crash, no more cash, no more crash no more cash, no more cash or crash

the edge of the world 03:17
lyrics

I’m standing at the top of a seventeen story building and beneath my feet, the whole city’s burning I’m standing at the edge of a bridge that leads nowhere is it unfinished or broken, who really cares? I remember when all we could see was snow I remember when you and me were not at war I’m standing at the corner of an empty dead end street empty of souls that’s for sure, but quite full of dead bodies I’m standing at the edge, the edge of the world yeah the edge the world that’s all it seems to be I remember when all we could see was snow I remember when you and me were not at war I miss the time when we could play football in the snow I miss the time when we didn’t have to watch for landmines
