Razor's Edge

(album: Midnight At The Lost And Found - 1983)

Never calling, unanswered letters,
how you been, feeling better?
Never looking, but you're hearing,
never speaking, but you're feeling
All the silence, and it's wounding,
you're not healing, just concealing

Play the game, play the game

[Chorus:]
Oh brother to brother, all the blood runs red
Don't roll over, don't play dead
We're all living on the razor's edge

Oh brother to brother, all the blood runs ruby red
We're all victims of the razor's edge

All the rules don't mean a thing,
they're wasting time,
the mem'ries sting
Keep your image, plant that smile,
answer questions, don't let on
Make up stories all put on,
that's your life, oh,
your life is gone

[Chorus]

You see you're losing, yet you still try
The game just a'watches your life go by

You're playing well,
you're playing why?
Oh, play the game

You see you're losing, yet you still try
The game just a'watches your life go by
You're playing well,
oh you're playing the game

[Chorus]
