Iron Maiden - Man on the Edge lyrics
[Iron Maiden - Man on the Edge lyrics]
And it's backed up for miles
The car is an oven and baking is wild
Nothing is ever the way it should be
What we deserve we just don't get, you see
A briefcase, a lunch, and a man on the edge
Each step gets closer to losing his head
Is someone in heaven? Are they looking down?
'Cause nothing is fair, just you look around
Falling down falling down
Falling down falling down
Falling down falling down
He's sick of waiting, of lying like this
There's a hole in the sky
For the angels to kiss
Branded a leper because you don't fit
In the land of the free
You just live by your wit's
Once, he built missiles, a nation's defence
Now he can't even give birthday presents
Across the city, he leaves in his wake
A glimpse of the future: a cannibal state
Falling down falling down
Falling down falling down
Falling down falling down
The freeway is jammed
And it's backed up for miles
The car is an oven and baking is wild
Nothing is ever the way it should be
What we deserve we just don't get, you see
A briefcase, a lunch, and a man on the edge
Each step gets closer to losing his head
Is someone in heaven? Are they looking down?
'Cause nothing is fair, just you look around
Falling down falling down
Falling down falling down
Falling down falling down
Falling down falling down
Falling down falling down
Falling down falling down
