Early North Jersey industrial skyline I'm an all-set cobra jet creepin' through the night time Gotta find a gas station, gotta find a pay phone This turnpike sure is spooky at night when you're all alone I'm living on the edge of the world Tryin' to get my girl on the line Livin' on the edge of the world But I think it's just a waste of my time Some jerk keeps breaking my connection, girl 'Cause I'm living on the edge of the world Radio, radio, hear my tale of heartbreak New Jersey in the morning like a lunar landscape Got a counter girl at the Exit 24 HoJo Down past teh refinery towers where the great black river flows OI'm living on the edge of the world Tryin' to get a message through I gotta make a connection, girl Because I'm living on the edge of the world Living on the edge of the world Radio's jammed with gospel stations Lost souls callin' long distance salvation Hey mister deejay gotta hear my last prayer It's a hey ho rock and roll, deliver me from nowhere I'm living on the edge of the world Tryin' to get back to you, girl Living on the edge of the world Tryin' to get a message through I gotta make some connection, girl Because I'm living on the edge of the world Living on the edge of the world Now my boss don't dig me 'cause he put me on the night shift It takes me two hours to get back to where my baby lives In the wee wee hours my mind gets hazy Relay towers, won't you lead me to my baby 'Neath the overpass the trooper hits his party lights switch Good night, good luck, one, two powershift
