At the Edge of the Scene

Lyrics

[Intro] Well, you've got your bags together And you're off into the new world The mother is impatient with four sons She wanted four girls The father's wrapped in memories Of European relations Counting flurries on the window As he dials another station coming home [Verse 1] It's black upon black, he's still cutting the track Old Ireland's heart may still call him back At the edge of the scene, the old glasses were round The siren is heard, and it's the cue for his sound [Refrain] Well, alright Well, alright [Verse 2] As sovereign of all, he's likely second to none Well, the change is complex and it's only take one At the edge of the scene, he's revered by the most Not just under our feet but from here to the coast [Refrain] Alright Well, alright [Verse 3] The ties that are loose are the ones that he binds If we wander off track, well, he'll keep us aligned At the edge of the scene not unlike in D.C It's the sound from down there years ago set him free [Refrain] Well, alright Well, alright [Verse 4] My story is tame, no, it's not very wild Expectations were debated for this only child At the end of the scene when our secret's revealed You know it's my life and it's the way that I feel [Refrain] Well, alright Well, alright [Verse 5] When you're miles above Pacific Ocean waters Without angel's wings will help with getting closer When my headphone cord untangles Oh, pilot, can you hear me? Our destination beckons Counting raindrops on the windshield Yet skies are clear, he reckons, for tonight [Solo] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
