[Verse 1]
How many times
Do you hear the thunder call?
And how many times
Do you keep the fire warm?

[Chorus]
You know you're close to the edge
When you feel your heartbeat slide
Ooh, you're close to the edge
When you feel your heartbeat slide

[Verse 2]
How many times
Did you hear the sirens wail?
How many times
Did your prison jump her bail?

[Chorus]
You know you're close to the edge
When you feel your heartbeat slide
Ooh, you're close to the edge
When you feel your heartbeat slide

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
How many times
Did a black cat cross your trail?
How many times
Did that last trick land you in jail?

[Chorus]
You know you're close to the edge
When you feel your heartbeat slide
Ooh, you're close to the edge
When you feel your heartbeat slide

[Instrumental Outro]
