Duran Duran The Edge Of America Lyrics

The Edge Of America Lyrics

Walk the edge of America

A concrete beach to scrape my hand

inside the
subway stinking fear and shame

becomes the violent
breath



Vigilantes out on dawn patrol

but now there's nothing left
to hide

I'm just a number on the metal fence

which marks the great
divide



Hey boy

give your dreams a rest

if you're tired of
searching

this is where it ends

there's nothing left to
lose

nothing to protest

learn to love your anger now

anger here is
all you possess

welcome to the age



Below the towers of the
citadel

Seems someone overlooked the cost

Forgotten soldier of
paradise

now paradise is lost



Recognition never
realized

Salvation lost among the crowd

So tell me beside this sterile
sea

where is your nation now?



And we say

Hey boy

give your
dreams a rest

if you're tired of searching

this is where it
ends

there's nothing left to lose

nothing to protest

learn to love
your anger now

anger here is all you possess

welcome to the edge
