It's your turn

Up here on the ledge
I´m getting pushed to the edge
People line up behind me to step into my shoes,
Up here in the precipice
I´m getting close to my nemesis
People fighting each other to jump into my blues
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 comin´ down,
Sleep is for fools, who never see the sunrise,
Who never get to live twice.
I was a face in a magazine,
When you were still playin´ with your plasticine,
Now you´re doggin´ my tail, ridin´ 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 comin´ from.
Don´t know where you´re goin´ to,
But I bin 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 goin´ through
Made the same mistakes as you,
All you want is some hope
And a shoulder to cry on.
There´s a stranger inside me somewhere
That shadow behind me, don´t even look like me.
An echoed apology.
He´s a wolf in sheep disguise,
I wake up in places I don´t even recognize,
Pretender in paradise.
It´s your turn, step up and take it
If you´ve got the guts to hang on
You can make.
C´mon, c´mon, come on,
Ooooh take it!
