Iggy Pop – Living on the Edge of the Night
12th February 2010
Iggy Pop’s Living on the Edge of the Night is an awesome song from his Brick by Brick record.
Another masterpiece in both music and lyrics: “So I take a little bad with the good / It ain’t just black and white.”
Well Iggy, we’re not saints for sure!
LYRICS
I’ll 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
Living on the Edge of the Night – Iggy Pop
