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 ...
