@1977 – original version, reworked in 2016 to make it grittier

I cannot stop this bleed, and I don’t know what you need
Don’t know what you need to know
Can’t seem to get things right and the noose is running tight
Before it drops me in the hole

Can’t keep from asking why, no matter how I try
I can’t even seem to find my soul
It’s the hardest of the days when my eyes can’t cut the haze
Of the smoke that fills the graves below
I don’t know why, no I can’t believe
That it’s reaching out and screaming for me

You tell me what you need, and tell me what to feed
Tell me that you need to know
Is it just a dream when I come across the scenes of
A sky awake with blood and blows

Don’t ask me why, I can’t seem to find
No escape that finally lets me go
Tell me what you see, so the panic grabbing me
Can find some other place it can go
I don’t know why, no I can’t believe
That it’s reaching out and screaming for me

[Chorus]
I’m living on the edge, between the earth and sky
I’m standing on a ledge, a thousand stories high
I’m living on the edge, nothing’s as it seems
I’m hanging off a ledge, can’t you hear me scream?
I’m living on the edge

[Background]
Don’t ask why, don’t ask me
Don’t ask why, don’t ask me
Birds don’t fly, don’t ask me
In dark sky, don’t ask me

Don’t ask why, don’t ask me
In the shine, is what we
Finally see, is lightening
As we die, don’t ask me
Don’t ask why, don’t ask me
Don’t ask why, don’t ask me
