It's Your Turn

[Verse 1] Up here on the ledge I'm getting pushed to the edge People line up behind me to step into my shoes Up here on the precipice I'm getting close to my nemesis People fighting each other to jump into my blues [Chorus] There's a young kid inside me somewhere He stays up all night, a vampire that never dies With the blood and the moon in his eyes I hear his voice when I'm coming down Sleep is for fools, who never see the sunrise Who never get to live twice [Verse 2] I was a face in a magazine When you were still playing with your plasticine Now you're dogging my tail, riding the slipstream You can take the fans and the enemies The little girls who squeeze and tease Then pass on their social disease Go get your penicillin I know you young and dumb I know where you're coming from Don't know where you're going to But I been there same as you You're running out of ideas And new hats to try on I know you middle age Same song, different page I know what you're going through Made the same mistakes as you All you want is some hope And a shoulder to cry on [Chorus] There is a stranger inside me somewhere That shadow behind me, don't even look like me An echoed apology He's a wolf in a sheep's disguise I wake up in places I don't even recognize Pretender in paradise [Outro] It's your turn, step up and take it If you've got the guts to hang on You can make it Come on, come on, come on Ooh take it!
