Rain on the windscreen makes a rhythm Line up the centre leads the way The music plays but I don't listen I don't want to hear the things they say Cold and sharper than a knife This is for the best, I said But lord help me I'm mystified It seems I got the cutting edge And I'd swear there's nothing in it Still the wheels keep turning round Like some old persistent spirit This one will take some driving out Cold and sharper than a knife This is for the best I said Lord help me I'm mystified It seems I got the cutting edge So much for this heart of stone Now it turns out to be lead The strangest thing I've ever known It seems I got the cutting edge
