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!
