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...
