Time to Get Out (Knife's Edge)
Sittin at my window watching the cars go
By and sigh, look at my life and wonder
If I look like the type of guy
Who'd be walking on the edge of knife
Thinkin bout times past, how long good memories
Last and why, time goes by
So damn fast that I come to find
Its already time to say goodbye
Walking out my front door, I don't know any-
more what it is I'm looking for
but one thing that I know for sure
I gotta get out of the city
Put me on a mountain, Put me on beach
Put me somewhere the headlights don't reach
Put me in a forest, Put me in a lake
Put me somewhere there ain't nothing fake
Put me in a desert, Put me in the delta
Man-made roof's a temporary shelter
You can put me anywhere, I really don't care
Just I gotta get out of the city
Sittin in a dive bar, watchin and lookin
Around as I down one more round
I think to myself, not a road in town
Is headed in the right direction
Walkin on the streetside lookin in places
And none of the faces look like kind faces
And all of the people here, they appear
To be runnin their own damn races
Lookin in their eyes I think to myself
My God, all the wealth, could you care to spare
Just a dime of it for somebody else
Hell no, not in this city
Put me on a mountain, Put me on beach
Put me somewhere the headlights don't reach
Put me in a forest, Put me by a lake
Put me somewhere there ain't nothing fake
Put me on the mesa, Put me by the river
Oh please God I must be delivered
Put me somewhere now, I don't care how
I just gotta get out of the city
Put me on a mountain, Put me on beach
Put me somewhere the headlights don't reach
Put me in a forest, Put me by a lake
Put me somewhere there ain't nothing fake
Put me on the mesa, Put me by the river
Oh please God I must be delivered
Put me somewhere now, I don't care how
I just gotta get out of the city
Why do they care what I do to get through
The day and keep the doldrums at bay
Make sure that my view is new
Each and every day
Sitting at a traffic light, its so bright
That I can't see a single, star in the night
And the sounds I hear, tell me, I fear,
There ain't no change in sight
The ebb and the flow in my heart I know
I gotta get up, get out and just go
There is no way for me to be free
As long as I'm here in the city
Put me on a mountain, Put me on beach
Put me somewhere the headlights don't reach
Put me in a forest, Put me by a lake
Put me somewhere there ain't nothing fake
Put me in a desert, Drop me in the delta
Man-made roof's a temporary shelter
You can put me anywhere, I really don't care
I just gotta get out of the city
By and sigh, look at my life and wonder
If I look like the type of guy
Who'd be walking on the edge of knife
Thinkin bout times past, how long good memories
Last and why, time goes by
So damn fast that I come to find
Its already time to say goodbye
Walking out my front door, I don't know any-
more what it is I'm looking for
but one thing that I know for sure
I gotta get out of the city
Put me on a mountain, Put me on beach
Put me somewhere the headlights don't reach
Put me in a forest, Put me in a lake
Put me somewhere there ain't nothing fake
Put me in a desert, Put me in the delta
Man-made roof's a temporary shelter
You can put me anywhere, I really don't care
Just I gotta get out of the city
