At The Edge Of The Scene

Sloan


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 

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 
It's the cue for his sound 

Alright 
Well alright 

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 

Alright 
Well alright 

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 

Alright 
Well alright 

My story is tame 
No its 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 

Alright 
Well alright 

When you're miles above Pacific Ocean waters without angel's 
Wings will help with getting closer 
When my headphone chord untangles 
Oh pilot, can you hear me 
Our destination beckons 
Counting raindrops on the windshield 
Yet skies are clear he reckons 
For tonight 

Yeah...
