I'm close to the edge
And ready to jump,
Walking the thin line
Between living and dead.
Don't push me
Or I might take one step too far,
Just let me
Sit and sweat it out.
Living for the present
I'm a creature of the night,
The darkness is a weapon
To wield against the light.
So watch me
Danger makes me come alive,
It doesn't scare me
I'll sit and sweat it out.
It gives me a kick
Like twenty thousand volts
To take a risk
On what the future holds.
Don't push me
Or I might take one step too far,
Just let me
Sit and sweat it out.
If there's trouble
I'll look after myself,
I'm not dependent
On anybody else,
So stand clear
I can do without your help,
It doesn't scare me
I'll sit and sweat it out.
[Most people wouldn't automatically think about danger and risk along with "sitting" but this is about holding your nerve, about those little games of "chicken" where the risk is in waiting]
