Life on the Edge

(Sung to the tune of “Bottle of Wine”)

Life on the edge,
Life on the ledge,
Ready to slip but still sliding–
Gimme some change,
I can arrange
Some happy high without hiding.

Ran out of luck.
Spare me a buck.
Gimme a smoke if you got 'em.
Ran out of gas.
Cops on my ass.
Life is a bitch at the bottom.

Out in the street
Hurting hearts beat,
Waiting for sacred surprises.
You never know
Under the show–
Jesus has many disguises.

Trust in the Lord.
Still can’t afford
Anything I am not given.
Buy me a drink
So I can think
I’m still in love with the living
