Standing on the edge

Of the Hoover Dam

I'm on the centerline

Right between two states of mind

And if the wind from the traffic

Should blow me away



From this altitude

It will come back to you

And do you know the time

All that's left of me is slight insanity

What's on the right I don't know



If the Mississippi should wash me away

Down to New Orleans

Maybe someday in my dreams

I'd wake feeling the sweat

From the gulf in my mouth



On a carousel I can never tell

My direction home

Spinning down a hole

I'm losing all control

I'm down to the center of the earth



Covered up with lava and I feel fine

It washes over me

Keeps me feeling warm at night

And if you've made a deal with

The guy with the horns and the cape

I'll see you later later



Standing on the edge

Of the Hoover Dam

Standing on the edge

Of the Hoover Dam I am
