Copper Penny (Living On The Edge)
09/10/85 - WPB


Copper penny and silver wine
Hold you breath and walk on by
There is no respect
When you’re living on the edge

City streets and sewer lines
Drive all night to find the time
For relief from the sledge
That’s hammering your head

Silver bullets and looking glass
See the knights as they charge past
Search the sky that’s overcast
To know what you regret

But if you think it is
Then I think it’s alright
Cause if you think it is
Then it must be alright

Ricochets and true romance
Grab your hat and circumstance
Try to be recalcitrant
To what’s between your eyes

Live it up and live it down
Your friends they come and go around
But I will be with you my love
Til the moment you decide

And when you leave you’ll linger on
In my mind and in this song
Until I rearrange your host
Of memories and lies

But if you think it is...

(break)

Happy days and longer nights
Feel the sweat, taste the bite
Circulate your mischief
That captivates your life

Hold my hand, feel my chest
Make commitments you’ll forget
And if the morning comes too quick
You can always recognize

There’s no way in and no way out
You live each moment with some doubt
Until you do negotiate
The terms by which you die

But if you think it is...
