lyrics

Me and my baby
We've been thinking hard
We re-lit the engine of our old classic car
And ran like the heroes
We saw on the screens
We heard in the songs
And all of our dreams

We were so lost in the dark of this town
Where factories tore our fathers down
Marked by the faces we saw every night
All of the friends who lost the fight

Can you feel it now
Burning through your veins
It ain't the same

The edge is hitting hard
You can feel it in your veins
Tonight we'll run down to the river
And washed these sins from our hands
Ever since we were young
We knew this day would would someday come
Now we've nothing else to lose
Baby all you have to do is choose

The sweat and the blood
Grind 'neath these wheels
The roar of the engines
The chrome and the steel
The taste of your lips which still drive me wild
The broken tattoos which tell of your time
As a lonely girl who lived on the street
Wasted on kicks and all that defeat
Waiting on all your heroes to come
But you had to make do with me

All your heroes are gone
They left you on your own
No Brando's gonna sweep you off your feet

CHORUS

And the seventies songs
Blasting on the radio
We had all the time and no place left to go
And the seventies songs
Blasting on the radio
Rock and Roll don't leave me now
Your best day's still to come

CHORUS

When you're on the edge
When you're on the edge
