Living on the Edge
Living on the Edge: A Stuntman's Symphony of Danger and Despair
Lyrics
Look to the right there's a terrible sight
Observing a disturbing sight to the right.
There's a storm that's preparing to land
Anticipating a storm about to happen.
Never despair for a price I'll be there
Expressing readiness to face challenges for a price.
I'm your automatic dangerman
Identifying oneself as an automatic dangerman.
Peer in my eyes & you'll see that I'm wise to
Claiming wisdom through one's eyes and understanding the role played.
The role that I play,
Acknowledging the specific role being portrayed.
Reach for the sky I will never say why
Encouraging reaching for high goals without explaining why.
I die for my pay
Willingness to sacrifice for payment.
Don't try see, this isn't new to me
Rejecting attempts to understand, suggesting familiarity with the situation.
Don't try to say rhat you'd do the same
Dismissing claims of shared experiences.
All for the show, it's the only life I know
Embracing a lifestyle dedicated to performance and entertainment.
Stuntman!
Declaring the identity as a stuntman.
When Hollywood calls I get paid for my falls
Highlighting payment for falls when called by Hollywood.
In the life that I lead
Describing the challenging life led as a stuntman.
Stars in their cars while I carry the scars
Contrasting the glamorous lives of stars with the scars of the stuntman.
I cry, & I bleed
Expressing emotional pain through crying and bleeding.
Don't try to say, this is no game I play
Rejecting the idea that the stunt is just a game.
Don't try to touch me I'm wild
Warning against attempting to touch the wild nature.
All for the show, it's the only life I know
Reiterating the commitment to the showbiz lifestyle.
Stuntman!
Reaffirming the identity as a stuntman.
I'm living, I'm living on the edge
Declaring living on the edge, suggesting a risky lifestyle.
I dice with my life
Taking risks with one's life.
I'm living, on the edge
Reiterating the risky lifestyle.
I'm a flyer, I'm a spaceman, I'm a sailor, I'm a clown
Enumerating various roles taken on: flyer, spaceman, sailor, clown.
But you never see me frown, it doesn't bring me down
Expressing resilience by not showing distress.
I'm the only guy in town, who never makes a sound
Emphasizing silence and resilience in the face of challenges.
Don't touch me!
Warning against physical contact.
Lights, camera, action! Jump!
Initiating a performance with lights, camera, action, and a jump.
