Goanna Razor's Edge
Got a letter from Davie just the other day
Said livin in Queensland was not OK
Can't find the money just to pay the rent
'nd the food and the herb -
Well they're just heaven sent
He's been livin' on the Razor's edge
Tryin' to touch the sun
He won't fall for that same old trick again
Cathy's alright. She just gets lonely everyday
She's livin' with a dream-world of yesterday
And there she is but here she'll stay
"Well it just never works out," she said, "Anyway!"
She's been livin' on the Razor's edge
Tryin' to touch the sun
She won't fall for that same old trick again
Lulu's too tired of livin' down by Torquay
She's gettin' herself together - financially
Says "One of these days I'm just gonna lie in the sun"
But right now I'm wondering does that day ever come?
She's been livin' on the Razor's edge
Tryin' to touch the sun
She won't fall for that same old trick again
Got a letter from Davie just the other day
'nd the note just read, "Please come to Byron Bay"
Well the heart says 'Go' 'nd the head says 'Stay'
'nd the big wheels just keep turnin' everyday...
Don't go livin' on a Razor's edge
Or tryin' to touch the sun
'Cause you'll just fall for that same old trick again - (that's what they tell ya')
Well we're livin' on a Razor's edge
Tryin' to touch the sun
'nd we won't fall for that same old trick again
(Such a fine line...
...I was meanin' to write)
