Rhodes II


Under And Over The Brink (barely salvaged from the vault)

   On the brink of complying
     I'm very slow
   And I say to myself:

   "Oh no, don't go
     Well I like you the way you are
   So please don't change
     Don't you know that your mind could rearrange?"

   So today it starts and tomorrow it ends
     I lost my soul and I lost my friends
   So today it ends and tomorrow it starts
     The brooding of a million hearts

         Music's the way, the only way I know
           It's time to let the brooding heart
         Choose the way to go

        'Cause love is not the answer
           It's never here to stay
         What's here through the night 
           May be gone by day

   On the brink of attack
     I'm society prone
   And they're telling me: 

     "You should find out what is wrong"

   I think I'm alright
     I'm still putting up a fight
   But I keep on losing
     Soon I'll be dying of fright

   On the brink of insanity
     I see my friend
   And I'm trying to tell him:

    "It can't be the end
   Well, you've made me live
     Now you've got more to give"

   If he goes o'er that brink
     Who will I cry with?
 
         Because music's the way, the only way I know
           It's time to let the brooding heart
         Choose the way to go

        'Cause love is not the answer
           It's never here to stay
         What's here through the night 
           May be gone by day
         What's here through the night 
           May be gone by day
