Here I sit all by myself I put all my books back on the shelf I got no thoughts to trouble my mind Balancing on the edge of time. Then suddenly the light shines through And I know just what to do I sing la la la, I sing la la la... Walking through the palm of my hand It could be a woman, could be a man I'm not afraid of what I'll find Balancing on the edge of time. Then suddenly night turns to day I see my high life in a different way And I sing la la la, Yeah, I sing la la la... I curse the days I spent in vain With nothing to lose and nothing to gain. I'll make a promise now of a different kind Balancing on the edge of time. Then suddenly new thoughts appear And I can realize some of my fears And I sing la la la, Oh, I sing la la la, La la la la la la la...
